Nico Hülkenberg was having coffee with his friend when Racing Point team boss Otmar Szafnauer asked him to sit in the car in the afternoon for the Eifel Grand Prix time trial …
spear Racing Point driver Stroll felt bad on SaturdayDue to this he was forced to skip the third free practice and then he could not start the time trial either.
Therefore, the team wanted to use Nico Hülkenberg again in the time trial of the Eifel Grand Prix, as well as in the British Grand Prix and the 70th anniversary when Sergio Pérez became coronary.
Even so both the team and Hülkenberg had to act quickly: however, this was now increasingly true, as the German driver was still having coffee with a friend in Cologne this morning, unaware that he would soon have to sit in an F1 car.
“It was even wilder and crazier than last timeHülkenberg said. “I was in Cologne, which is an hour from here. Would have come this afternoon anyway, had some TV stuff here with RTL. “
“I met a friend, we had coffee at 11 when I saw Otmar [Szafnauer, a Racing Point csapatfőnöke] called, and he said: “Hülkenberg, hurry up, we need you here.” Then I got in the car and came ”.
“And the rest is history, we have seen what happened now. Obviously this is a 2.0 comeback, in a flash. “
“Tomorrow will be very difficult, it will be a great challengeSaid the German. “But we will do what we can. Obviously my experience now is that I have 4 laps in my pocket. Tomorrow we will only run one and see how it develops. “
Hülkenberg finished 20th in the time trial, 5 tenths behind the Q2 result: the German driver said he was not in an easy position in the heats.
