Why Nyck de Vries wasn’t ‘entirely satisfied’ with last-minute F1 qualifying debut

The Dutchman was 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:drafted in for an unexpected 🌱F1 debut at Monza as a stand-in for Alex Albon on Saturday morning after the Williams regular wa🌟s r👍uled out of the weekend with appendicitis.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Mercedes reserve driver de Vries, who had made his third FP1 outing of th🦋e season with Aston Martin on Friday, progressed 🌠to Q2 and qualified an impressive 13th, ahead of teammate Nicholas Latifi in his first qualifying session.
A mistake at Turn 4 cost de Vries the chance to potentially qualify higher, though he is set to be promoted into the top 10 due to a host of drivers a🐽head of him carrying grid penalties into Sunday’s grand prix.
The 2020-2021 Formula ♓E champion revealed the cause of his error after qualifying.

“Actually, how I lost my last run in Q2, it was actually Nicholas’ wheel because that is closer, but I was used to Alex’s switches and I a𒅌ccidentally hit something,” he explained.
“Theref൩ore the brake balance moved one percent rearwards, and that’s 𓆉why I locked up the rears going into Turn 4. These mistakes weren’t great.
"On the first run of Q2 we made a 𝄹small change, we were also in traffic, the t♕yre temps were a bit low. Not everything quite together but I think it was not bad after all.”
De Vries said he was🌠 making an appearance in the F1 Paddock Club when he got the c🎉all from Mercedes, just an hour and a half before final practice was due to start.
“I was literally driℱnking some cappuccino and chilling and waiting and then obviously I received the call for Mercedes, which asked me to come down ASAP,” he said. “I was then forwarded to Williams, so exciting times.
“Obviously I feel very sorry for Alex and I hope he is okay and wishing him a speedy recovery. But for me, it is obviously a very unique opportunity, very last-minute, only one and a half hours prior to FP3. ꦰ;
“There is such a limited time to get ready, you only have two sets in FP3 to get ready. Hence why I’m not entirely satisfied be🐭cause I think our session was not as smooth as I would have liked and we made some mistakes.
“It wasn’t perfect but nevertheless I think I can be quite satisfied wit⛎h what we did.”

De Vries’ commendable performance would have done his chances of landing a 2023 seat - potentially witꦑh Williams - no harm, though the 27-year-old stressed he did not have time to think about strengthening his case for an F1 drive.
“I try not to t🌳hink too much about the opportunity,” de Vries said. “Honestly with so littl🌺e time, there is not much time to think anyway.
“My stomach did feel a bit weird, of course I was nervous and a little bit st𒅌ressed. But ultimately my own p෴ressure is beyond anything.
“That’s one of the reasons why I’m not entirely satisfied. But I also try to enj💟oy the moment. To be starting top 10, is just great.”
