Nyck de Vries has won hands down his excellent performance in the Italian Grand Prix. Not only the fans, but also his fellow competitors had nothing but praise for the 27-year-old Dutchman. De Vries could count on sincere congratulations afterwards.

Not only were many drivers talking about De Vries' performance, the driver from Sneek was also visited several times in the paddock, including Max Verstappen, George Russell and Lewis Hamilton. It resulted in beautiful images that can be viewed below.

One driver was less than happy with De Vries' ninth place on the Monza circuit. Teammate Nicholas Latifi didn't offer his congratulations in a first reaction on Viaplay.
