Scuderia AlphaTauri kickstarts their 2023 Formula One season with rookie Nyck De Vries, 28, joining the driver roster alongside Tsunoda. De Vries becomes the second Dutch driver on the grid alongside two-time world champion Max Verstappen.
The Dutchman already has considerable experience, earning his F1 seat off the back of winning the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0, Formula Renault 2.0 Alps, FIA Formula 2 Championship and Formula E titles. He then claimed an impressive ninth on his F1 debut last September in his first race start with Williams Racing, substituting for a sidelined Alex Albon at the 2022 Italian Grand Prix.
De Vries said: “I’ve loved attending my first event as a Scuderia AlphaTauri driver. The opportunity to represent the brand at New York Fashion Week has been extremely special for me and really showed me what the brand is about. The AT04 livery looks great, and you can see how the sleek A/W collection has inspired it, so I can’t wait to see it on track.”
