With Nyck de Vries and Max Verstappen, Formula 1 will have two Dutchmen next season. Although De Vries understands that this is a milestone, the driver wants to focus on his own career. He told Sky Sports.
"I think that's not relevant," De Vries stated. "Today I am grateful for the chance and I am super excited to be on the grid next year. It's a competitive sport, as long as I do my job on the track then I will be able to continue to progress my career forward. That's all I'm focused on."
