F1: After getting sacked by Red Bull de Vries heads to Harvard

Sacked F1 driver Nyck de Vries is going to make the most of his time off to enroll in a short Harvard class.

The 28-year-old Dutchman was replaced by Daniel Ricciardo after just 10 races this season.

“I’ve never studied before in my life, in fact, I didn’t even finish high school,” Nyck told Racing News 365.

“But in September I’m going to take a course at Harvard. Negotiation and Leadership, a little bit of studying. More because I just like it now that I have some time and the interest to learn other things.”

As for getting the boot, de Vries says he’s actually cool with how things played out … adding, “I had a lot of support, and it actually went very naturally. I’ve been playing a lot of golf since then.”
