Success – Mercedes Esports Team signs Hungarian Dani Bereznay

Mercedes has recently announced the launch of their new F1 Esports team which includes Hungarian Dani Bereznay, F1esports.com reports. Bereznay was selected by Mercedes at the inaugural F1 Esports Series Pro Draft in July.

Dani Bereznay is only 18 years old, and he has been in the public eye for some time now in Hungary. He first became well-known in 2017, when he entered the Hungarian version of the popular talent show X-Factor. He has been playing the guitar since he was 10 years old.

Even during his X-Factor career, he mentioned that playing simulation video games were one of his favourite hobbies.

It seems that playing all those games in his free time really paid off, as he has recently signed with Mercedes-AMG Petronas Esports Team.

It is a huge accomplishment to sign with the team who is the reigning F1 world champion.
