Nyck de Vries: 'McLaren chance matter of time'

Nyck de Vries thinks that it is only "a matter of time" before he gets his own chance at a career in Formula 1 with McLaren.

Nyck de Vries has said that it is only "a matter of time" before he gets his own chance at a career in Formula 1 with McLaren.

The 21-year-old Dutchman, part of McLaren's development programme, said recently that he hopes Stoffel Vandoorne's promotion means he now moves up a rung on the ladder.

De Vries told Dutch publication Helden: "At the moment there are no seats free.

"Next year Stoffel Vandoorne makes his debut so I have to wait for my chance, but it's a matter of time I think.

"If I keep performing well, my chance will come. [Fernando] Alonso's contract expires late next year - perhaps there is space, we'll see."

McLaren sit sixth in the constructors' championship ahead of today's Singapore Grand Prix.
