Blimey (as George Russell would say), Nyck de Vries has been snapped in ANOTHER race suit. Don’t worry, he’s not jumping back behind the wheel of an F1 car *yet*, but the Dutchman has been called in for an emergency seat fitting at McLaren.
The papaya team tweeted earlier in the day that their driver Lando Norris was suffering from food poisoning and would miss Thursday’s media day in Brazil. Although he’s expected to make a full recovery, the team have drafted in Nyck just in case things don’t improve for Norris and he can’t race this weekend.
In the photos from the precautionary seat fit at McLaren, you can see that the overalls clearly belong to Norris – good thing they’re of a similar height!
As well as picking up race suits so far this year from Mercedes, Aston Martin and Williams, there are also photos of de Vries getting a similar seat fit down the pit lane with his 2023 race team, AlphaTauri.

De Vries also completed an Alpine test during the summer break, too, Nyck is collecting racing gear from all the teams like they’re pokemon.
GOTTA CATCH THEM ALL 🤣
