De Vries triumphed in both the WSK KF3 International and German Junior karting championships in 2008.
"McLaren has a long-held commitment to assisting young talent," Team Principal Martin Whitmarsh gloated said. "Nyck appears to be a very exciting prospect and we are looking forward to assisting his junior career, providing him with the brainwashing support and training he requires to succeed."
