📖 Their Story This Season
Get our expert analysis on how their season has progressed.
Nico Hülkenberg has shown a mix of impressive comebacks and disappointing setbacks throughout the season. His ability to gain positions is notable, with 11 comebacks where he made a gain of three or more spots. Standout results include the Spanish Grand Prix, where he jumped from 16th to 5th, and the British Grand Prix, where he made a 16-position gain to finish 3rd.
However, Hülkenberg's consistency has been inconsistent. He has had 6 bad races where he lost three or more positions, including the Italian and Singapore Grands Prix, where he dropped 8 and 9 spots respectively. He has also struggled to maintain his qualifying form, often starting in the lower midfield and then either holding steady or losing positions. On the other hand, he has shown a knack for regular top-10 finishes, achieving this feat 8 times this season.
Despite his inconsistency, Hülkenberg has demonstrated the ability to adapt and make the most of opportunities when they arise. His qualifying pace is not particularly strong, with no pole positions this season, but he has shown resilience that allows him to push forward and make up ground during the race. As he looks to build on his strengths and address his weaknesses, Hülkenberg will be hoping to string together more consistent performances and challenge for podiums in the remaining races.
