Budding Formula 1 racer Nyck De Vries has been labelled a ‘f***ing idiot’ by former F1 star Pascal Wehrlein.
De Vries is currently operating as a Mercedes reserve driver, backing up British duo Lewis Hamilton and George Russell. Wehrlein was furious with the Dutchman after the pair confronted one another following their collision at Saturday’s Formula E Seoul Grand Prix on Sunday.
The duo came together at Turn 1 as they battled for P13, and Wehrlein called De Vries out for his actions. The German-Mauritian was forced to pit at the end of the lap as a result but De Vries was left with suspension damage and a puncture, ultimately forcing him to later retire from the race.
