De Vries must beat Norris to dream of F1

McLaren seems to have set its sights on Lando Norris since the reigning champion of the F3 European Championship has been named a reserve for the Woking team. If Nyck de Vries is also included in the development program of the British manufacturer, the Dutchman knows that he must make the difference this year in F2.

Nyck de Vries will have the advantage of experience since he already has a year in the discipline spent with Rapax and Racing Engineering finished in seventh place. However, the single-seaters have evolved this season.

“Zak Brown (Executive Director of McLaren Technology Group) made it clear to me, it’s black or white. I have my destiny in my hands, said Nyck de Vries, quoted in The Express. Lando is in a better position because he has a good relationship with Zak Brown. His father brings the money for Zak to take care of Lando. But if I meet expectations this season, I will be in F1 in 2019. "

The duel between Nyck de Vries and Lando Norris will begin this weekend at the Sakhir circuit in Bahrain. The Dutchman will play for Prema while the Briton will defend the colors of Carlin.
