On the subject, confirmation also arrived from De Vries who admitted.
“I don't know if I'm in such a luxurious situation that I can choose. This is beyond my control. I have been in talks with Williams for a long time and was even able to make my debut there last weekend. It would be a logical step. Alpine who I have been in touch with since July and will be testing in Budapest next week. And as the media noted yesterday, I went to Austria to meet Helmut Marko. These are the facts."
