Yuki Tsunoda and Nyck de Vries will race for the Alpha Tauri F1 team in 2023. Tsunoda will enter his third season in the sport. The Japanese driver has pressure on his shoulders to step up his game against his new teammate, Nyck de Vries. De Vries will make his highly-anticipated F1 debut this season. Nyck certainly has an impressive CV as a former F2 champion as well as a Formula E world champion.

Although, this exciting pair decided to have some fun before the start of the F1 season. Nyck de Vries and Yuki Tsunoda were spotted in New York City today as the two watched an NBA game. The Alpha Tauri drivers went to attend the showdown between Chicago Bulls and Brooklyn Nets. Both Nyck and Yuki were dressed up for the occasion in typical New York style as well.

Yuki Tsunoda and Nyck de Vries were shown on the coverage as “Red Bull F1 drivers.” One might get confused by this statement as Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez actually race for the Red Bull Racing team. However, Tsunoda and de Vries are contracted by Red Bull itself and are considered to be Red Bull athletes. Although new fans of F1 or even the viewers of this game must have been confused to some extent.

After this incident surfaced on Reddit, most fans complimented the endearing driver pairing. Many users mentioned how Yuki Tsunoda and Nyck de Vries seemed like a romantic couple on the broadcast. One user even wrote, “kiss cam vibes.” This is a nod to the iconic kiss cam in NBA games where couples kiss one another on screen. Additionally, another user replied, “Yooki found a new boyfriend.” Certainly, Tsunoda may now have a replacement for Pierre Gasly.

Consequently, another fan mentioned how this pair went on a date in Brooklyn, a city Nyck de Vries is familiar with. The fan replied, “I’ll bet de Vries was like “been to Brooklyn a million times with Formula E, know the place like the back of my hand, I’ll show you all the best places.” On the other hand, one user mentioned how Yuki Tsunoda and Nyck de Vries were called drivers for Red Bull in F1. The user commented, “Red Bull F1 drivers.”

Thus, fans simply loved Yuki Tsunoda and Nyck de Vries’s day out in New York. Yuki Tsunoda has always been shipped by fans with Pierre Gasly. However, this resulted in a heartbreaking separation when Gasly switched to Alpine for 2023. Hence, Nyck de Vries might help Tsunoda fill this void this season as fans would certainly cherish another lovely bond between the Alpha Tauri drivers.
