Nico Hulkenberg is reminded of a Brazilian F1 legend in his dealings with Gabriel Bortoleto at Stake.
Nico Hulkenberg draws parallels between his current partnership with F2 champion Gabriel Bortoleto and his rookie season alongside Rubens Barrichello. Bortoleto, Brazil’s first full-time driver since Felipe Massa in 2017, was paired with the experienced Hulkenberg after winning the F2 title. Just like in 2010 when Hulkenberg, the reigning GP2 champion, was teamed up with Barrichello, Bortoleto now finds himself learning from a seasoned professional. Hulkenberg acknowledges the importance of respecting and having fun with your teammate, as it sets a positive and productive tone within the team. Despite being at different career stages, Hulkenberg sees potential in Bortoleto and believes he has a bright future ahead if he continues his current trajectory.
