Are we looking at a future Mercedes driver in Frederik Vesti? 🤔 Formula_Nerds F1 F2
let Dorte Riis Madsen speak about how he became Vesti’s manager and what it was like watching the youngster grow up into the racer he is today. Madsen stated how ‘during a test in Barcelona with Van Amersfoort Racing at the end of 2016, he set faster times than Max Verstappen did with the team.’ This actually helped him gain his seat in the F4 championship with Van Amersfoort Racing for 2017.
For the next few years, he entered a variety of different competitions including the F4 Italian Championship and ADAC F4 Championship where he added another 4 wins to his trophy cabinet and added another 11 podiums to his name. The Danish man graduated from F4 in 2019 and signed with PREMA for the F3 Regional Championship. After 24 remarkable races, Vesti claimed his first-ever title, finishing the season with 20 podiums and 13 impressive wins.Vesti continued to showcase his talent in the 2020 and 2021 FIA Formula 3 Championship, and it wasn’t long before a Formula 1 team started taking notes of the Danish triumph.
In 2021 Vesti was signed on as a Mercedes academy driver and his first test in an F1 car came in November of 2022. After all the hard work and determination, Vesti had put into his career it was finally paying off. However it wasn’t just Vesti who was thrilled, Mercedes themselves were in awe at this star.
he stated how joining the Mercedes academy was a ‘long-term dream’. Later in the interview, he opened up and said ‘other F1 teams could have asked me, but I wasn’t going to say yes because I only wanted Mercedes. I think that has driven me a lot and it’s still driving me to this day.’Now heading into his second F2 season, Vesti’s motivation to race for Mercedes can be seen in the impeccable drive he put on at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit.
