“So, the old dog, he’s still got the opportunity. He’s still showing… what would happen if you put him in a front-running car?”
Former F1 world champion Damon Hill suggests Red Bull should consider giving Nico Hulkenberg a chance alongside Max Verstappen. Hulkenberg’s strong performance at the United States Grand Prix, finishing eighth and scoring his first points since July, has impressed many. Despite a collision with the McLarens on Lap 1, he showed promising potential with a fourth-place start in the sprint. Hulkenberg, known for his consistency in the midfield, deserves a shot at a top team like Red Bull, having missed out on opportunities with Ferrari and Mercedes in the past. Hill believes a partnership between Hulkenberg and Verstappen could be successful, as they seem to get along well on and off-track.
