Hulkenberg Sees Hope in Race Over Qualifying | F1 News

Nico Hulkenberg secured a solid 10th place in qualifying at Hungary, a promising start as he hunts his first points of the season—where overtaking is notoriously tough. He called the session smooth, but voiced concern over a wider-than-expected gap between his Audi and midfield rivals. His best lap was slower than earlier runs, trailing the ninth-place car by a few tenths. Audi’s championship push is hampered by just ten points so far, trailing Alpine, Racing Bulls, and Haas. Yet, there’s hope: they finished best of the rest in Belgium, with Gabriel Bortoleto eighth. Hulkenberg believes their race pace, especially over longer stints, can challenge Racing Bulls—and maybe even earn vital points this weekend.
