Ever since his F1 debut, Nyck De Vries has been getting praised in the paddock and Lewis Hamilton has also jumped onto the bandwagon through his Instagram handle.

Nyck De Vries had a day to remember at the Autodromo Nazionale Monza Circuit where he was given the opportunity to compete in his maiden F1 race with the Williams team.

Being the reserve driver at Mercedes, Hamilton is aware of the relentless simulator work that De Vries does for the team, and to finally see him fulfill his dream of driving in an F1 Grand Prix, has made the 7-time World Champion elated for the 27-year-old.
