George Russell welcomes Nyck de Vries, the 'man to beat' during their karting days, into F1.
George Russell states Nyck de Vries was ‘the man to beat’ during karting daysGeorge Russell has welcomed the arrival of Nyck de Vries to the Formula 1 grid after the Dutchman’s move to AlphaTauri was confirmed.
One of those is Mercedes’ Russell who will have spent plenty of time with him this season due to De Vries’ role as a reserve driver but he was also familiar with the Dutchman from their time karting together. “Out of the karting boys as such, Nyck was the only one who hadn’t made it to F1, and probably deserved to have made it,” said Russell,“Those five drivers – myself, Alex [Albon], Max [Verstappen], Charles [Leclerc] and Nyck – who were in that era of racing against each other at 11, 12, Nyck was the only one who didn’t make it, so I’m happy for him.
