Just HOW BAD was NYCK DE VRIES in F1?

4 місяці тому

The latest casualty of the F1 scene is Dutch world champion (FE) Nyck De Vries.
Take a look with me at his career and just what he got up to that led to his replacement, and if it was needeed
Nyck drove for 1 race for Williams in 2022 and then was signed for Alphatauri in 2023 to finally get his shot.

@asphalt_480

I think the expectations were too high for him after he scored points in monza 2022

@tropfen

He really liked to spin 180 de vries.

@DanBorries

The expectation was real. Both, the team and him gave it all. It didn't work out but Nick is a total gentlemen. He left with his head held high and thanked everybody. I have nothing against a man like that.

@brandonheinzman996

Yes expectations were high. But entering at 27 having so much experience at lower levels i think the expectations were warranted

@dustinabigan2776

The thing I always say with Nyck is that him being kicked out is somewhat harsh but it's not like he's helped his case. I can't really view him as a rookie as well since it's not like he just graduated from the 2022 F2 season. The expectations of him being in FE (a series that needs drivers to be careful about not crashing into each other in narrow circuits) and his racing career and experience were always going to be there, not to mention his age. Yeah we've seen with Alonso and Hamilton that age doesn't matter at that point, but when you're 28 years old and older than more than half the grid including Max, the pressure is always going to be there. His days are already more numbered than other rookies that the series has seen in recent years. Technically, 28 would be around the middle age or lifespan of a driver in F1 already as most drivers we'd consider established in the sport are around that point in their lives.

@KN-ko8ez

His failure was going into the Red Bull Young Driver program. He was barely given a chance and the pressure was unbearable.

@StormGamerNL

Some of these edits and jokes are so on point dude🤣 please keep making these videos with such edits, its amazing and absolutely hilarious😂😂

@rars0n

I have little doubt that he wouldn't have gotten a full season to prove himself had he just signed with Williams. This is why, at least in Nyck's case, I can't blame Red Bull too much for doing Red Bull things.

@slyguythreeonetwonine3172

My body was ready to watch the entire Melbourne section upside down.

@Errafri

When you listen to his radio you realise he didn't only have a "meh" start, he didn't study. You don't ask for settings and which button to press half way through the year... For me it's mostly because of that he got kicked. That and his f'ing ego.

@mariolis

He didnt win FE in his 1st season

@brettjames5061

I think this season shows a difference between Williams (+Mercedes) and Red bull with how they handle rookies. I would argue Nyck at Alpha Tauri was on level with Logan at Williams, both are rookies, both are in bottom of the barrel cars, and both were easily beat by there teammates. Alpha Tauri Kicked Nyck out before the half way point while Logan completed a full season and is set to have a second. I cant really say which method is better, they both have heavy flaws but at least Williams is forgiving. But Red Bull tends to find better talent. Keep in mind that Hamilton started at Mclaren and according to wikipedia started in the Mclaren Young Driver Programme in 1998. Meanwhile Max was brought into F1 by Toro Rosso.

@leemartin3429

You only have to look at what Liam Lawson did for them few races to see it was the right choice to get rid tbh probably shouldnt have evan got a chance imo

@miggygetright6344

Things would’ve been better for him had he gone to Williams who supposedly also offered him a full time seat. However, can’t knock him for going to AlphaTauri which was the best option to one day drive a top car.

@Reznor_Meeks

It’s a shame he didn’t go to Williams

@mirvan23 21 годину тому

There was some team insides (im commenting before watching so, not sure if it was mentioned), that he was a diva in the team. He was CHAMPION of f2, he was CHAMPION e-series, he was THE MAN in the paddock - ofc only in his mind. And that was the biggest problem.

@sgthulk9

I said it from the start and i will say it again: scoring points at Monza with a Williams that had a tremendous amount of straightline speed, is not an indicator of a great driver. We already saw he had multiple seasons in F2, wasn't that great with his tyres, and always had a bit of that "Better-than-everybody-else" attitude in Dutch interviews. Sure he had a god-awful car in the AT, but Yuki did better & de Vries was just too slow. I'm Dutch myself but i was glad he had to leave. The funny part is that to this day, AT is still in the same situation with Daniel doing absolutely a great job at dissapointing everyone & Yuki being the better driver again.
