Hulkenberg: Japan F1 GP fightback was "half a miracle" for Haas
At the Suzuka race, Nico Hulkenberg qualified 12th but dropped to 17th due to an issue with his anti-stall system during the second start after a red flag. Despite this setback, he managed to finish 11th after strong stints on hard tyres and overtaking five drivers, showing good pace. Hulkenberg expressed surprise and satisfaction with his comeback, considering it almost miraculous and believing he could have challenged for points. He praised Haas’ VF-24’s performance, indicating they can now compete with other midfield teams, which exceeded his expectations. Team boss Ayao Komatsu acknowledged the need for improvements in high-speed downforce and front axle characteristics but also highlighted the positives, emphasizing the progress made and the dedication to enhance the car’s performance in future races.
