Some reunions are just meant to be. Just like Daniel Ricciardo ended up back at the Red Bull family. However at the cost of Nyck De Vries. However, Nyck De Vries is now finding himself in a place where he’ll be reunited with Toto Wolff as the F1 outcast makes a surprising statement. What is Nyck De Vries upto?

De Vries didn’t have the best time in F1. After waiting for many years and taking part in lower classes and Formula E, the 28-year-old finally got his shot at a full-time F1 seat. Unfortunately, it was taken away even before the Dutchman could settle down in F1. Helmut Marko did give De Vries a warning but nobody saw a sacking coming this quickly.
