Audi Revolut F1® Team in the Top 10.
Teamwork takes Hulkenberg to P10. Nico Hulkenberg finishes P10 in the Spanish Grand Prix to secure a point for Audi Revolut F1® Team in the inaugural race at Madring.
A point on Madring debut.
Audi Revolut F1 ® Team brought home a point from the inaugural race at the Madring, as Nico Hulkenberg crowned a strong Team performance with P10 in the Spanish Grand Prix.
On a track on which overtakes proved nigh-impossible, it was teamwork, strategy and superbly executed pit stops that helped Nico jump his rivals over the 57-lap race and claim the final points-paying position. On the other side of the garage, Gabriel Bortoleto ran a strong race, going long on his starting hard tire in the hope of making strategic gains later: with no late Safety Cars or red flags, however, he could not materialise his gains and finished his race in 13th place.
The point gained brings the Team’s total to 17 – only four shy of Haas in seventh place in the championship.
Earlier in the day, Audi Driver Development Programme’s Freddie Slater brought his Formula 3 season to a close: following a run of eight podiums in eight rounds, the Brit narrowly missed on an outstanding rookie season championship. Despite the disappointment, the racecraft, speed and maturity displayed in his maiden season placed him as one of the standout performers of the year across all junior formulas.
