Nyck de Vries may be a Formula 1 rookie by name – but he certainly doesn't see himself as one.
The Dutchman had his surprise competitive F1 debut last year, called in by Williams at short notice to replace the unwell Alex Albon at the Italian Grand Prix. His performance that weekend – he scored points on debut and matched the team's best result of the year – helped him to earn a permanent place on the grid.
Despite that one-off appearance, this season is still regarded as De Vries' rookie year in F1. That label isn't really an accurate description of the 28-year-old, though, given he is a Formula 2 and Formula E champion with many years of high-level single-seater experience and has had plenty of practice behind the wheel of F1 cars.
