Formula One superstar Lewis Hamilton expressed sympathy for rookie driver Nyck de Vries on Thursday after the 28-year-old Dutchman was abruptly sacked by Alpha Tauri, Red Bull’s junior sister team, following only ten races. Hamilton condemned the way Red Bull operates, stating that it’s not representative of Formula One as a whole.
During a media interaction, the Mercedes’ seven-time world champion was asked about the ruthless nature of Formula One, especially considering the sudden dismissal of Nyck de Vries after finishing last for struggling Alpha Tauri at the British Grand Prix. Hamilton responded, “I would say it’s how Red Bull works.”
