De Vries starred on his F1 debut at the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Italian Grand Prix, finishiꦅng ninth after being a last-minute replacement for Alex Albon, who is suffering with a🧔ppendicitis. 

He out-qualified teammate Nicholas Latifi before comfortably finishing inside the top 1ꦅ0 at Monza with P9 at th🌳e chequered flag.

The 2019 F2 champion’s future has been a topic of discussion over the past 12 ꦑmonths.

He was linked with a drive at Williams for this year but lost out to Alex Albon, while de Vries has been rumoured to still be in the frame to drive for the Grove outift, potentially replacing Latifi in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:2023 driver line-up.

It is understood that de Vries is on Alpine’s 14-man🅰 shortlist to replace Fernando Alonso, particularly ifᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ they’re unable to work a deal with AlphaTauri to sign Pierre Gasly.

“Well it obviously helps,” de Vries said. “It is an opportunity. Someone else’s misfortune became my fortune. That’s why I am so grateful it turned out♓ well and we took ܫthe opportunity.

“In this world, not eve🌌rything is based on merit and there are more factors that play a role in deciding a line up. I am glad that I think I showed a little bit of my🐼self this weekend.”

De Vries conceded that any decision is ‘out of his hands’ but rei൩terated that he was grateful to make the most of his one-off opportunity at Monza.

“No and 𓆏it’s out of my hands,” he added. “Obviously I am not entitled to decide any d﷽river line ups so that's not up to me. Again, I am just very grateful and happy that I took this opportunity, that I was able to live this moment. 

“My Dad, by coincidence, was in Monaco in my little place so he took someone else’s car to drive down and I saw him this♏ morning and we couldn’t even talk as we started to cry. I just gave him a kiss and went, and he was at the grid. Just grateful we were able to witness this as a family we worked and lived for this for many years. Again, no one is able to take this from us so I am just a happy man.”

De Vries has been Mercedes reserve driver since 2021 after signing for their Formula E team𒀰🃏 the year before.

His performance at Monza received plaudits from Mercedes boss Toto Wolff and seven-❀time champion Lewis Hamilton.

Wolff said: “I think, what else should he do in terms of perfo♎rmance than what he has shown today? No training, [he] jumped in a car that he hadn’t driven, straight into FP3. Yea𓂃h, it showed what he’s capable of doing.”

“Oh, incredibly happy for Nyck, and really prou🗹d of him,” Hamilton added. ” He’s such a good lad, a good human, he’♍s been a good part of our team working with us. I hope Albon is OK, I know he’s gone through a hard weekend, but for Nyck to have jumped in and finish in the top ten in his first race, that’s mega for your first race since ages.”
