From Formula E to Formula 1

Following Formula E is highly recommended for motorsport enthusiasts. In this racing class, many talents come into action who later end up in Formula 1. For example, Dutchman Nyck de Vries steamed through from FE to F1, thanks to his championship in 2021. First as a reserve driver for the Mercedes team, followed by driver for team AlphaTauri in 2023. It is not the only champion to make the step to F1, apart from drivers António Félix da Costa and Jake Dennis, all the winners have driven in f1.
