Nyck de Vries, who recently lost his Formula 1 driver’s seat at AlphaTauri, broke his silence regarding his sacking from the F1 team, with a social media post on Wednesday.
De Vries was replaced by Red Bull’s third driver Daniel Ricciardo after a string of bad performances left his side at the bottom of the Constructor’s standings.
In the note he shared, the Dutch driver thanked Red Bull and its sister side AlphaTauri for the opportunities they gave him to live his dream and also spoke about how much losing the seat hurts him.
“I would like to thank Red Bull and Scuderia AlphaTauri for the opportunity to live my dream. Of course it hurts that the F1 chance I dreamed of for so long ended prematurely. But life is not a destination, it’s a journey, and sometimes you have to take the hard road to get where you want to be.”
De Vries also revealed that he hasn’t spoken to the media ever since his departure from F1 and thus refuted the quotes being circulated under his name.

“Thank you to everyone for your kind and encouraging messages in the past week. It’s been heart-warming to feel your support. ”
