Dutch racing driver claims Nyck de Vries ‘belongs’ in F1
Dutch racing driver Tom Coronel believes that Nyck De Vries’ glorious F1 debut at the 2022 Italian Grand Prix last weekend proves that the 27-year-old was “made to race”. De Vries’ debut in Monza won him a seat alongside Yuki Tsunoda at AlphaTauri this year.
