Kada Sárközi joined GPblog as an editor ahead of the 2023 Formula 1 season. He graduated with a BA in Sports Journalism in the UK and has covered Grands Prix and other F1 events live.
Nyck de Vries has commented for the first time on his departure from AlphaTauri. The Dutchman is disappointed about his early exit, but is still grateful to have been given the chance in Formula 1.
"A short note from me… After recent events, I decided to take some time for myself away from social media, which I will continue to do," he began. "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."
He continued: "I am grateful for our privileged lives, proud of our journey and my family. This is just another experience, we move on and look forward to the next chapter. Thank you to everyone for your kind and encouraging messages in the past week. It’s been heart-warming to feel your support"
