Not long ago, it was announced that Daniel Ricciardo broke his wrist after crashing in the second free practice at Zandvoort. As a result, Liam Lawson has replaced him for the rest of the weekend. However, Nyck de Vries could also have been called up. We at GPblog are curious about our readers' opinions towards the statement below.

Debate on De Vries and Lawson

The proposition is as follows: Are AlphaTauri being unfair on De Vries by not appointing him as a replacement instead of Lawson? Lawson has not driven in the premier class of motorsport for one year, and the Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort could, of course, have been De Vries' ultimate comeback.

The Dutchman was replaced by Ricciardo after the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, but in principle, he is still under contract with AlphaTauri. Vote in the poll below and let us know what you think of this statement.
