Nico Hulkenberg admitted he was initially in denial about the possibility of achieving his first Formula 1 podium finish at the British Grand Prix at Silverstone. The Sauber driver secured third place, ending his longstanding record of 238 Grand Prix starts without a podium. The unpredictable weather at the British Grand Prix allowed Hulkenberg to strategically time his pit stops for intermediate tires, enabling him to make crucial overtakes and hold off competitors. Despite starting last on the grid, he displayed exceptional racecraft and decision-making skills, ultimately securing a well-deserved podium finish. Hulkenberg’s perseverance and flawless performance in challenging conditions culminated in a milestone achievement, propelling him to ninth place in the drivers’ championship and elevating his Sauber team to sixth in the constructors’ standings for the 2025 season.
