F1 star Nyck de Vries is going from being a speed demon to a scholar -- the former AlphaTauri driver is making the best out of losing his spot on the grid by enrolling in a Harvard class.
The 28-year-old Dutchman was replaced by Daniel Ricciardo after just 10 races this season ... and earlier this week, he revealed what he's planning to do with his free time -- and it's something completely out of his comfort zone.
"I've never studied before in my life, in fact, I didn't even finish high school," Nyck told Racing News 365.
