Formula Renault Eurocup
edit2012
edit
In 2012, de Vries switched to single-seaters, being given a cockpit in the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 at R-ace GP. De Vries achieved his first podium finish at his debut race in Alcañiz with a second place, and he managed to repeat this result at the Hungaroring. De Vries finished the season in fifth place, beating all of his teammates. In addition, de Vries took part in several races of the Formula Renault 2.0 NEC, in which he managed a victory at his home track in Assen. He was on the podium four times in eleven starts in the series and ended up tenth in the drivers' standings.
2013
editThe following year, de Vries switched to Koiranen GP for his second season in the series. He won one race each at the Hungaroring and the Circuit de Catalunya and again ended the season in fifth place in the championship.
2014
editIn 2014, de Vries stayed with Koiranen and competed in his third season of the Eurocup. He won six races and finished on the podium in 11 of 14 races. With 254 points to 124, he convincingly beat the runner-up Dennis Olsen in the championship. In addition, he took part in the entire Alpine Formula Renault season. He won 10 out of 14 races and only failed to make the podium twice.
Formula Renault 3.5 Series
editIn 2015, de Vries made the switch to the Formula Renault 3.5 Series, racing for DAMS. He was on the podium five times before winning the final race of the season at the Circuito de Jerez, putting him third in the final standings with 160 points, only placing behind Oliver Rowland and Matthieu Vaxivière.
GP3 Series
editDe Vries took part in the GP3 Series in 2016 in with ART Grand Prix. He scored his first podium at the Red Bull Ring with a third place, then obtained his first pole in Budapest. It wasn't until the second race at Monza that he took his first win, a result he replicated at the Yas Marina Circuit at the end of the season. He finished sixth in the championship, behind his teammates Charles Leclerc and Alexander Albon, who became champion and vice-champion respectively.
FIA Formula 2 Championship
edit2017
editIn 2017, de Vries switched to the FIA Formula 2 Championship with Rapax.[2] He achieved his first win in the Monte Carlo sprint race and scored a further three podium finishes before the summer break.[3] Before the round at Spa-Francorchamps De Vries switched to Racing Engineering, with whom he scored a second place at that very round. He ended his season seventh in the championship, placing second-highest of all rookies.
2018
edit
For the 2018 season, de Vries moved to partner Sean Gelael at Prema Racing.[4] His season started slowly with just two podiums from the opening third of the season putting him a fair way behind his title rivals. De Vries' first victory of the campaign in the sprint race at Le Castellet was followed by a point-less round in Austria and two finishes outside the top five in Silverstone.[5] Following that however the Dutch driver's form improved, winning the feature races in Hungary and Belgium respectively.[6][7] However, even with his sixth podium of the season in the Sochi feature race, de Vries was unable to finish in the top three in the standings, being beaten by Alex Albon and Lando Norris by ten and 17 points respectively.
2019
edit
In 2019, de Vries remained in Formula 2, returning to his former team ART Grand Prix alongside 2018 GP3 vice-champion Nikita Mazepin.[8] His season started in strong fashion with a podium in Baku and a sprint race victory in Barcelona.[9] He followed that up with a win from pole position in Monaco and took the championship lead by winning the main race at Le Castellet.[10][11] A pair of third places at the Red Bull Ring and a podium each in Silverstone and Budapest extended De Vries' advantage,[12] and following another pair of thirds in Monza he had put one hand onto the trophy. After his fourth and final victory of the season, which came at the penultimate round in Sochi, de Vries was mathematically crowned Formula 2 champion.[13]
FIA World Endurance Championship
edit
On 15 March 2018, de Vries signed for Racing Team Nederland to compete in the LMP2 class of the FIA World Endurance Championship.[14] He later remained with the team for the 2019–20 season, partnering Giedo van der Garde and bronze-ranked Frits van Eerd.[15] De Vries and his teammates won the 6 Hours of Fuji, thus taking the team's first win in the series.[16] This result helped Racing Team Nederland to end up fourth in the LMP2 standings.
On 6 July 2020, de Vries was announced as the Toyota Gazoo Racing Europe GmbH test and reserve driver. His roles include testing the Toyota TS050 Hybrid and Toyota's hypercar.[17] The same year saw him competing in three rounds of the European Le Mans Series with G-Drive Racing, scoring a podium and fastest lap combo at Le Castellet and winning the season finale at the Algarve.[18]
During the test week prior to the 2022 24 Hours of Le Mans the ACO officials prohibited TDS Racing x Vaillante driver Philippe Cimadomo from starting. Due to his reserve role for the Toyota Hypercar team, de Vries was already at the circuit and was asked to step in.[19] The Dutch driver ended up finishing fourth in class alongside Mathias Beche and Tijmen van der Helm, setting the fastest top 20 average laptime.[20]
On 20 November 2023, de Vries was announced as one of the primary drivers for the #7 Toyota Gazoo Racing Hypercar, replacing the outgoing José María López.[21] Having qualified second for the season-opening race in Qatar, de Vries managed to take his first overall WEC victory at Imola, profiting from an impressive stint by veteran teammate Kamui Kobayashi.[22][23] de Vries would finish second overall at Le Mans taking his first podium at Le Mans.
Formula E
editMercedes–EQ Formula E Team (2019–2022)
edit2019–20 season
editNear the end of 2019, de Vries was announced as a driver for the new Mercedes-Benz EQ Formula E Team for the 2019–20 Formula E season alongside Stoffel Vandoorne, having failed to find a seat in F1.[24] The Dutchman scored a single podium, finishing second behind his teammate at the final Berlin ePrix race, to end up 11th overall with 60 points.[25]
2020–21 season
editFor the 2020–21 season, de Vries continued at the renamed Mercedes-EQ Formula E Team with Stoffel Vandoorne.[26] He qualified on pole for the first race of the season-opening Diriyah ePrix double-header, proceeding to lead every lap en route to his first-ever victory in the series. Before the second race De Vries did not take part in qualifying as Mercedes and Venturi Racing, who were both using Mercedes powertrains, were suspended from the session following the crash of Edoardo Mortara during a practice start procedure. In the race, the Dutchman finished ninth after penalties were issued to multiple cars. At the round in Rome De Vries failed to score points in both races, having collided with his teammate Vandoorne and Sam Bird respectively in the two races. De Vries achieved his second victory of the season in Valencia, where he was one of the only drivers to not run out of usable energy before the end of the race.[27]
Following two rounds in which he only amassed a total of two points, de Vries fought for victory in both races of the London ePrix and finished in second place in both races, thus taking the lead in the championship before the final round.[28] In the first race in Berlin he did not score any points but managed to maintain his lead in the standings. Having qualified 13th for the final race of the season, de Vries was given an early advantage when title rivals Mitch Evans and Edoardo Mortara collided at the start, and fellow contender Jake Dennis was involved in a crash shortly after the restart.[29][30] De Vries finished the race in eighth place, thus winning his first ever World Championship in Formula E.[31] The Dutchman ended the campaign with a total of two wins, four podiums and 99 points, seven ahead of vice-champion Mortara.
2021–22 season
editDe Vries and Stoffel Vandoorne remained with Mercedes for their swansong season in Formula E.[32] De Vries won the first race of season 8 in Diriyah, and got pole the next day, but finished in 10th, and ended the championship in 9th with 106 points.[33] De Vries left at the end of the season, securing a contract to compete in Formula One.

After the race, Magnussen said De Vries was driving like a desperate man. De Vries qualified 18th and finished 17th and last at the British Grand Prix. With 10 races of the season completed, de Vries was 20th and last in the drivers championship having scored 0 points whilst teammate Tsunoda had scored 2 points.
