Hulkenberg will "return the favour" to Magnussen for Jeddah F1 help
Hulkenberg was one of the cars that stayed out under an early safety car in the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, a move that didn’t pay off for McLaren’s Lando Norris and Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton as a second safety car did not appear as expected. Despite needing a green flag pit stop, Hulkenberg managed to hold on to points contention, aided by his Haas teammate Kevin Magnussen creating a gap between him and the pursuing cars. Magnussen strategically slowed down to help Hulkenberg pit without losing his position. The plan was successful, with Hulkenberg re-emerging from the pits ahead of Magnussen and the other competitors. Team principal Ayao Komatsu praised the crucial point earned as Haas lags behind the top five teams. Hulkenberg thanked Magnussen for his teamwork and pledged to help him in the future, showcasing strong camaraderie within the team.
