After 239 Grands Prix, years of bad luck, substitute appearances, and missed opportunities, it has finally happened: Nico Hülkenberg has secured his very first podium in Formula 1. During an incredible Grand Prix at Silverstone, the German driver raced to an astonishing third place, behind home hero Lando Norris and his teammate Oscar Piastri.
The race on the iconic Silverstone circuit had it all – rain showers, strategic gambles, safety cars, and turbulent battles. What started as a dry race quickly turned into a strategic chess game when a sudden shower swept across the circuit. Hülkenberg, in his second season for Sauber, kept his cool and made the right choices at the right time.
