Vandoorne excited by Formula 1 simulator role with Mercedes

If you’re no longer racing in Formula 1, the next best thing in a simulator role with Mercedes according to Stoffel Vandoorne. "I will be involved with them," Vandoorne told Formula1.com, referring to his involvement with the world championship outfit. That’s an exciting part for me as well, to still be involved in the F1 world and to be with the world champions. For me, it will be a very interesting move. I’m sure I can bring them a lot of fresh ideas, but also for me to see the differences there are because I’ve only worked with McLaren in Formula 1. "So it’s exciting for me as well to the kind of have a bit of a fresh environment. It’s definitely good to keep involved in the world because you never know what happens in the future," said Vandoorne. "I think to be involved with Mercedes and to perform the work for them, it’s good that they will know exactly what I’m capable of doing. And we don’t know what the driver market is going to do in the future. It was a bit crazy this season and who knows what it will be next season. It’s hard to tell. So it’s good to be involved and to be prepared for anything that comes up."
