The ‘silly season’ of Formula E is gradually activating ahead of the 2021-22 season. Oliver Rowland, Alex Lynn or even Alex Albon are some of the protagonists of the pilot market, in a setting where you also have to look at Formula 1. And is that some of the drivers on the grid could leave it if there is an offer from the premier category. This is the case of Stoffel Vandoorne and Nyck de Vries, official drivers of Mercedes EQ in the electric series. In fact, Toto Wolff has explained that he will give the letter of freedom if such an offer arrives.
Thus, Stoffel Vandoorne and Nyck de Vries could leave the Mercedes EQ team if there is an offer from one of the Formula 1 teams. Both drivers appear to be on Williams’ radar, as are Nico Hülkenberg and Daniil Kvyat. A situation that could lead to either of them leaving Formula E, even if De Vries takes the lead of the championship and he has in his hand the option of becoming the first World Champion of the electrical contest. In this regard, Toto Wolff understands that his drivers are not young pearls to be polished and they deserve to establish themselves in Formula 1.
In this aspect, Toto wolff He said: «I am very happy with the couple of drivers that we have in Formula E. I could not wish for a better duo, but I will never stand in the way of either of them if they had a chance to go to Formula 1. Stoffel Vandoorne and Nyck de Vries have enormous talent, a strong work ethic and the intelligence to be in Formula 1. They both deserve to be in the premier class and I hope they can find their way to get there.. We will not oppose it if an offer arrives that allows them to make this leap.
