Nyck de Vries looked far from a rookie at Monza, says his fellow Formula E driver Sam Bird. F1
“He looked like he’d done 50 Grands Prix before,” said Bird of De Vries on theat one point in the race, he was sticking with the lead group when Daniel Ricciardo was holding everybody up. He looked great out there and I can only assume that there’ll be more chances for him in the near future.
“Okay, he drove it in Barcelona. But that was quite a long time ago. And he slotted back into that one day after having his brain put through the fact that he was in an Aston Martin. So, there’s a lot of things that he had to kind of get out of his head then plunk into his head this weekend. Very, very impressive.”
Bird suggested that De Vries’ performance also has wider-reaching implications, demonstrating that Formula E drivers are more than capable of performing at that level.
