Lewis Hamilton said: “I've known him since he was very young. When I was at McLaren, my father tried to help him get into Formula 1." Nyck De Vries is a Formula E driver and a part of the Mercedes F1 team. He made his F1 debut at the Italian Grand Prix last week with Williams. Just a couple of hours before the qualifying session started, Alex Albon was taken to the hospital following issues with his stomach. There, he had an operation on his appendicitis and was in critical health condition. Hence, he was unable to participate in the race and De Vries replaced him in the team.
