Nico Hulkenberg Q&A: Abu Dhabi Grand Prix

We head to the season finale of the 2023 FIA Formula 1 World Championship, the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. This is the team’s final chance of scoring points this season, what do you make of the Yas Marina Circuit and how have you fared previously? 

“I’ve raced the old layout many times, but the circuit was modified, and I got to test the new version with Haas last year, but I haven’t raced around it yet. I’m looking forward to that, and looking forward to the final race in general, it brings about a nice vibe to the paddock.”

 

There’s a tradition among some team members that at the end of each event, we share our high and low moment. Looking back, can you share your favorite and most challenging moment of this season? 

“It’s not over yet, so that could be a question for after the race! The high was definitely the result in Australia, and that race in general for me. The low, I’d have to pick between Monza or Sao Paulo.”

 

It’s been a long season for the team, do you want to give a shoutout to those who have worked tirelessly throughout this year? 

“It’s been a long season for everyone, and the team have been in good spirits throughout it all, so hats off to them. From the catering team who get to track first, our security crew who always have a smile on their face and of course the crew in the garage and back at our factories, I really hope everyone gets the chance to recharge their batteries and take some time to relax.”
