Nico Hulkenberg Dominates with Sauber, Outperforming Expectations
German driver Nico Hulkenberg is setting the track on fire this season, consistently scoring points and proving to be a valuable asset for the Sauber team. Since joining the Hinwil-based squad, Hulkenberg has shown remarkable performance, even outpacing the likes of Ferrari’s Lewis Hamilton in Spain.
With an impressive 20 points already under his belt, Hulkenberg’s impact is undeniable. In just ten race weekends, he has matched the total points scored by Sauber over the past two years combined. This outstanding achievement solidifies his position as one of the top drivers in the current championship standings, trailing only Alex Albon, Esteban Ocon, and Isack Hadjar.
Despite Hulkenberg’s stellar results, his teammate Gabriel Bortoleto is yet to score a single point this season. However, the team remains optimistic about the Brazilian driver’s progress, especially after introducing significant upgrades to the car in Barcelona. Bortoleto, the reigning F2 champion, is now eagerly anticipated to secure his maiden F1 point in the upcoming races.
Hulkenberg’s exceptional performances have not only elevated Sauber’s standing in the championship but have also showcased his skills as a seasoned and competitive driver. As the season unfolds, all eyes will be on Hulkenberg to see if he can maintain his impressive form and continue to outshine his rivals on the grid.
