Mercedes boss Wolff believes no other driver could have done a better job than de Vries on his F1 debut at Monza.
Having driven for Aston Martin in opening practice on Friday, de Vries was drafted in by Williams ahead of FP3 on Saturday when Alex Albon was taken ill and diagnosed with appendicitis.
"And that's why he deserved it today. I don't think that anyone else could have possibly done a better job in what he did. Although de Vries has been closely associated with Mercedes as a Formula E racer and F1 reserve, he is not officially in the manufacturer's young driver programme or under any management deal in the way that George Russell and Esteban Ocon are.However, Mercedes is still taking a keen interest in his progress.
