Dutch driver Nyck de Vries says he is rooting for Mercedes and Lewis Hamilton over Red Bull and his countryman Max Verstappen.
De Vries is currently driving for Mercedes in Formula E and also serves as a reserve driver for the Formula 1 team. In 2021 his countryman Max Verstappen seems to have the best chance yet to challenge for the F1 championship, however de Vries concedes he is rooting for his team.
“In the end, I have to cheer for my employer”, de Vries told Dutch publication NOS.

However, his employment is not the only reason why he roots for Mercedes. He is also impressed with the team’s overall attitude and philosophy.
“You can see how the team picks up that situation and gets back to where they have always been. Red Bull was fastest in all sessions in Bahrain, but Mercedes just wins the race.
“There is no saturation, everyone wants to win. I find that mentality very admirable.”
