Nyck De Vries' stellar entrance into Formula 1 only lasted 10 races as he was unceremoniously ousted from his seat by the hierarchy of Red Bull’s junior team, AlphaTauri.

The former Formula 2 and Formula E champion made his F1 debut at the 2022 Italian Grand Prix for Williams, after Alex Albon was sidelined with appendicitis and needed to undergo surgery.

De Vries ended the race in 9th as he scored points on his debut.

The Dutch driver’s stellar drive on the night saw him enter the fray for a driver’s seat in the 2023 Formula 1 season. Having been linked with Mercedes for most of the 2023 off-season, per a report by Racingnews365, De Vries eventually joined AlphaTauri.

However, the 28-year-old driver's stint did not go as planned and he was shown the door ahead of the Hungarian Grand Prix.

De Vries' best place finish for the Italian team remains his 12th-place finish at the Monaco Grand Prix.

Despite the criticism AlphaTauri has attracted for ousting the Dutch driver, he appears to have moved on from his devastating F1 stint and revealed what is next for him.

De Vries reveals next ambition

Moving past his short-lived opportunity in F1, De Vries has confirmed to RacingNews365 that he intends to study at America’s foremost university - Harvard.

"In September, I'm going to take a course at Harvard in Negotiation and Leadership, a bit of study. I've never studied before in my life; in fact, I didn't even finish high school. I'm interested in learning a lot of things," he explained.

At his young age, the future remains bright for the Dutch driver even as he moves way from the track.
