De Vries has endured a difficult first five races to F1 2023, with a 🦩combination of lack of pace and high-profile mista🙈kes.

During the interval between Miami and the l꧅ater-cancelled Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, speculation grew regarding his future, particularly after Red Bull’s Helmut Marko showed him the ‘yellow card’. 

Speaking ahead of this weekend’s Monaco Grand Prix, de Vries ♒was asked about the speculation.

“I mean, itജ’s not a shock to me🎐, it’s normal, it’s this industry, it’s always been like that in Red Bull and in F1,” he said.

“I genuinely believe it’s not different than earlier in the season. You’ve🃏 always got to perform, ℱyou’ve always got to deliver, and I’ve had that throughout my whole career. 

“As a driver, you always kind of fight for your s☂urvival, and you always n🌸eed to deliver to continue your career forward successfully. So it’s kind of normal, it’s how it’s been always.”

While de Vries is generally ༒happy with the 🍌level of pace he has shown on several occasions, he conceded that he’s “made too many mistakes”.

“I🃏 definitely think I’ve personally made too many mistakes, I w𒁏ill admit that very openly,” he added.

“I also believe that the pace has been strong at se🎃veral moments, and that kind of encourages me and giv♕es me confidence. 

“But I haven’t been able to execute at the end, and haven’t been able to put it together. I do believe the speed has been th𒐪ere, but equally I made too many mistakes to turn that int෴o a result."
