The reigning world champ has drive in every sense of the word – and it’s taken him from a little town in Friesland around the globe. Discovering his passion young, Nyck started karting when he was just five years old. It wasn’t long before he was traveling all over the world for karting competitions. By the time Nyck was a teen he had moved to Italy, begun racing internationally, and started racking up European and World Championships. The Dutchman went on to take out the 2019 Formula 2 championship before graduating to Formula E – Formula 1’s more sustainable cousin fueled by electricity. Last year, he drove with Mercedes EQ and dominated the 2021-2022 season. Between his training, touring as a reserve for the Mercedes-AMG Formula 1 team, and another Formula E season underway, Nyck’s calendar leaves little to chance. We got a moment to chat to him about the importance of ambition, intuition, and self-confidence.
