The Hulk in no more the driver holding an insulting F1 record- longest career without podiums. After years of persistence and unlucky adventures, Nico Hulkenberg is finally standing on the podium. The race he drove yesterday was no less than magic. In an unforgiving track like Silverstone, Hulk tackled rainy weather, multiple pitstops and safety car restarts to bring in P3 for his team. It was an achievement which he should’ve claimed long ago.<\/p>
Nico Hulkenberg was not driving a Papaya McLaren, he had no teammate to back him up. The Scarlet Ferrari of Lewis Hamilton was in pursuit behind him chasing the Hulk. In a race where even Oscar Piastri made a fumble owing to anger and pressure, Hulkenberg stayed perfectly on the racing line. The end result was a magical moment that both Hulkenberg and the Sauber garage are going to remember for a long time. Long ago some were doubting that his career in Formula 1 is over. However, Hulk has put a solid full-stop to any such speculations with his latest results.<\/p>
Formula 1 is an intense sport. The drivers engage in ruthless rivalries on track. However, off track their friendships and respect for each other is easily visible. During his interview, Hulkenberg was humble and made an apology to the British fans supporting Lewis Hamilton. Hulkenberg’s impressive drive meant that Hamilton could never force him to make a mistake and complete an overtake.<\/p>
\n“Obviously I was thinking that Lewis is going to give it all in front of his home crowd and I was like, ‘Sorry guys – it’s also my day!’ I’ve got to stick my neck out.”<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>
