37 -year -old Nico Hulkenberg on Sunday 6th July on the British Grand Prix secured his first formula 1 stage. However, this good story ended with a controversial goal after the driver Sauber was ignored by McLaren Duo Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri during the celebrations.
Hulkenberg finished the race in the third position and defeated Stalwarty like Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen to win his first stage in 239 races. Hulkenberg runs at the highest level for 15 years and eventually managed to discard the unwanted record of the most races without standing on stage.
While the whole world of F1 celebrated Hulkenberg’s success, McLaren drivers decided to celebrate their 1-2 target at the British Grand Prix with their racing engineers and did not recognize Hulkenberg, who was also on stage. The duo killed themselves on social media for their selfish behavior, and fans said the vibration of the celebration was turned off.
They didn’t spray Nico.
Oscar looked at Landa, then looked at his team and instead sprayed them. Lando just won his home general practitioner?

However, Scatic Hulkenberg did not care because he was shown as Mercedes and Aston Martin, who manually delivered special bottles of champagne.
“I don’t think I can understand what we have just done,” he said after the third place through the team radio.
“Congrats on the first stage. – Your Mercedes team.”

Hulkenberg did it in a fairy -tale way. Last time he started on the grid, in 19th, with Alpine’s Franco Colapinto stood up in Pitlane for the Swiss sauber.
Thanks to the smart strategy and position in absolutely the right time, Hulkenberg Saubera took the first stage in 13 years and also became the lowest final of the lowest team.
“It’s good. It came for a long time, wouldn’t it?” He said Hulkenberg, rather reported obvious after the stormy celebrations of Pitlane.
“I always knew we had it in us, I had it somewhere in me … It’s quite unreal to be honest. I’m not sure how it all happened, but apparently crazy conditions, it was a struggle for survival for a lot of race.
“I think we were really on it. The right calls, the right tires, at the right moment.
With the nine -fold British GP winner Lewis Hamilton in fourth place for Ferrari, it seemed inevitable that Hulkenberg would be wound and his day would end again as a story about what could be.
Instead, it became the story of triumphs against chances for the future work of Team Audi on UP and now overall in the sixth place.
– ends
