Lewis Hamilton won his fifth Formula 1 championship, finishing the Mexico Grand Prix in fourth place after a tense race.
And close pal Millie Bobby Brown was the first to congratulate the 33-year-old Mercedes driver on his good news.
Taking to Instagram, the Stranger Things star shared a snap of herself hugging the British champ on her story, for her 17.7million followers.
Alongside the sweet upload, the 14-year-old simply wrote: Congrats world champ. Knew you could do it.

Is there seriously anyone she isnt friends with?
But the Eleven actress wasnt the only famous face to reach out to Lew on his huge win in Mexico.
Despite finishing the overall race in fourth place, with Max Verstappen winning the day, Will Smith was on hand to pop up on the Mercedes team radio for a pep talk for Nicole Scherzingers ex.

And, in typical Will Smith fashion, he decided to quote the lines he recited to Martin Lawrence in Bad Boys, because why not?
Hey, Lewis. Congrats, man, he began. Thats how you do it, baby. Just like I taught you, thats how you do it.
Just like that, thats how youre supposed to drive.

Who else would love a Bad Boys remake with Lewis Hamilton and Will Smith?
Speaking after his epic win, the driver admitted it was a very strange feeling.
Firstly I want to say a big thank you to all the fans making the Mexican Grand Prix as special as it is, he began.
Secondly a big thank you to my team. It wasnt won here, just throughout the season and a lot of hard work.

To complete this when Fangio did it with Mercedes is an incredible feeling and very surreal.
It was a horrible race, I had a great start, was working my way up then I dont know what was happening. We were struggling Valtteri and I.
Im just so grateful to God and I wouldnt be here without all the hard work my dad did and my family.
