“Driving around the golden pineapple in the back is not so fun”: Nico Hulkenberg Image: Reuters
Fast in qualifying, slow in the race: Nico Hülkenberg struggles with the weaknesses of his Haas and still believes in his Formula 1 future. Before the race in Austria he talks about it.
Just a schnitzel. Fried golden brown. Nico Hülkenberg started the Austrian Grand Prix weekend in a way that is typical for the country. Before he went to the racetrack in Styria, he had jetted to Vienna on Wednesdays to taste what is hard to get at home in Monte Carlo. “Wiener Schnitzel in Vienna, it fits,” says Hülkenberg of the FAZ And it was good.
The past race weekend in Canada, which once again proved to be not particularly digestible, has also been digested. He had started from fifth place, but fell back quickly and finally finished 15th. Saturdays hui, Sundays ugh, that’s how the racing Rhinelander’s season has been so far. This “imbalance” is “not good”, says Hülkenberg before the Grand Prix this Sunday (3 p.m. in the FAZ live ticker for Formula 1 and on Sky), in addition to the sprint race on Saturday (4.30 p.m. in the FAZ live ticker for Formula 1 and skies).
