PU change rules de Vries out of final practice

AlphaTauri driver Nyck de Vries was unable to participate in final practice for Formula 1’s Saudi Arabian Grand Prix due to a power unit setback.

AlphaTauri detected an issue ahead of the one-hour session and as a consequence the team has been forced into a power unit change.

It leaves Yuki Tsunoda as AlphaTauri’s sole participant in the sesson.

Full-time 2023 rookie de Vries has never before raced at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit and finished 17th at the end of Friday’s second session
