News about Nico Hulkenberg

Formula One team Haas are set to lose one of their drivers at the end of the season, with the star joining grid rivals Sauber starting from 2025.  Haas have had a trying start to the 2024 season, with just five points from five races enough to put them in seventh place in the constructor's standings, above only Williams, Alpine and Sauber.  Four of those points have come from Nico Hulkenberg with the other picked up by Kevin Magnussen. 

You need reactions from the highest speed, nerves of steel, and an almost unmatched ability to withstand G-Force to make it to Formula 1. These are skills that do not come naturally to the everyday human being but are developed over years and years of experience. The current Formula 1 grid will have begun their work towards joining the sport's top level when they started out in go-karts, can you recognise these stars from their karting days?

During Saturday's qualifying, the Red Bull team were playing "good families" at the Australian GP, with Christian Horner, Max Verstappen, and Helmut Marko in chat. Verstappen qualified in pole position for Sunday's Melbourne Grand Prix Circuit, while Red Bull teammate Sergio Perez was demoted from third to sixth after impeding Nico Hulkenberg during Saturday's proceedings. Although the Red Bull team has been on alert during the season's tumultuous start due to the ongoing'sex texts' scandal, they were all smiles during the qualifying session.

Perez' ranking has been changed from third to sixth as a result of the penalty. As a result, McLaren's Lando Norris rises to third place, while Ferrari's Charles Leclerc claims fourth.

Despite dazzling on debut at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, Nico Hulkenberg has sent a letter to teenage Ferrari sensation Oliver Bearman, stating that he needs to stay focused on racing in Formula Two this season. The Haas driver also stated that if the 18-year-old's remarkable start to life in Formula One' could be forgotten' quickly if he does not follow up his seventh-place finish in Jeddah with a good year on the feeder circuit. After the Spaniard had been barred from racing due to appendicitis, the Bearman was drafted in at the last moment to replace Carlos Sainz in the second race of the season. Sainz will return to the grid for the Melbourne Grand Prix this weekend, according to Ferrari this week.

After his groundbreaking debut at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, Formula One teenager Oliver Bearman will be walking on cloud nine this week. The 18-year-old was sent to substitute Carlos Sainz at late notice ahead of Friday's qualifying session before finishing fourth overall in Jeddah, scoring six points for his team. It was a whirlwind 24 hours for the pilot, who reportedly only found out he'd been taking Sainz's place a few hours before qualifying.

Oliver Bearman, the teen star of F1's debut, may have been well-rested, but he'll still have to be cautious what he says in post-race interviews. During Saturday's Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, the 18-year-old made his F1 debut, winning a thrilling run and finishing seventh. After a contest with Sky Sports, the Bearman finished in front of fellow Brits Lando Norris and Lewis Hamilton, as well as Nico Hulkenberg, and was asked about his attempt to defeat Hulkenberg. When asked to clarify if he was wrong, Bearman told his staff that Hulkenberg was'so slow'. However, although he wasn't saying anything during the interview, the German proceeds to march into shot and past Bearman in the background.

According to claims, Oliver Bearman's sensational Formula One debut with Ferrari at the weekend's Saudi Arabia Grand Prix will guarantee him a permanent spot with another team next season. The 18-year-old was drafted in as a last-minute replacement by the Italian garage for Carlos Sainz, who underwent appendicitis surgery, and he was impressed during his first outing in the Middle East.

As he watched on in the Ferrari garage, David Bearman was seen visibly moved and breathing heavily. His son, 18, stepped in for his Ferrari debut at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix weekend in place of Carlos Sainz, who has appendicitis. After potentially driving too slowly, he was immediately suspended for failing to follow the race director's instructions, but was cleared.

Last year's Albert Park riot was marked by confusion as the grand prix had to be restarted a record three times due to red flags, but more was to come as the chequered flag fell (pictured, left). Spectators at this year's tournament have now received a ban from the Australian Grand Prix Corporation (pictured left, Aussie F1 star Oscar Piastri, who placed eighth in the 2023 series).

The Italian-American engineer took his name as the fouled manager of the US-owned team, winning a fan base that had previously been unaware of him as a long-serving backwoodsman executive at Jaguar and Red Bull. His ardent Germanic-sounding expletives - he was born on the Austrian frontier - were besieging him at racetracks and airports around the world for autographs and selfies. However, Haas finished last in the constructors' championship last season, and Ayao Komatsu, the team's Japanese 47-year-old chief of engineering, has been fired after a season that saw them finish last. A ten-year reign has come to an end.

Following a turbulent 2023 season, excited Formula One fans are already planning their calendars and wishing the 90 days before the Bahrain Grand Prix next year - and the start of the 2024 calendar - will fly by quickly. Max Verstappen win his record-tying 15th race in 2023 months after being crowned for the third time in a row on Sunday in Abu Dhabi. But when the dust settled after the 23rd and final grand prix, exhausted drivers and their designers must have feared that the season would not come soon enough, and they waved goodbye to their teams, enjoyed a final group dinner, and scattered for some much-needed rest and relaxation.

JONATHAN MCEVOY IN SAO PAULO: The race was suspended on a day when Mercedes tensions lay bare almost as quickly as their abysmal lack of energy. The Haas of Nico Hulkenberg nudged Albon, who was born on September 13th. Magnussen was then tagged by Albon.

After a chaotic opening lap crash in the Brazilian Grand Prix, Daniel Ricciardo barely escaped a flying tyre. Following the dramatic collision that ended the races of both Haas' Kevin Magnussen and Williams' Alex Albon on the 200-yard approach to the first corner, the race was suspended. Abon's blue-liveried vehicle was detached from the road and landed in the direction of Daniel Ricciardo's AlphaTauri farther back. It skipped the Australian's head by inches and instead landed on his rear wing.

It would be an exaggeration to say that as much as an eyebrow had been raised. There was only a furtive exchange of glances, with no hint that Max Verstappen was now, in the future, the world champion for 2023. Max's father Jos and his manager, as well as long-serving family friend Raymond Vermeulen, the number-cruncher who negotiated the £50 million per annum salary that motor racing's hottest asset will have every year until the end of 2028, was caught in the brief eye contact. Verstappen's only apparent competitor for the title, his Red Bull colleague Sergio Perez, was ensnared by a gung-ho Esteban Ocon as he approached Haas' Nico Hulkenberg at the second corner, when the gazes appeared eight laps from the end of Saturday's tumultuous sprint race, a gung-hoo Esteban Ocon.

After winning pole position for the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal, Max Verstappen will try to stretch his championship lead. After Nico Hulkenberg fell from second to fifth in pouring rain on Saturday, the Red Bull driver did the job well, with Fernando Alonso and the Mercedes duo of Lewis Hamilton and George Russell behind him.

JONATHAN MCEVOY IN MONTREAL: After going fastest in a very wet qualifying session, Max Verstappen will begin in pole position for the Canadian Grand Prix. After an impressive performance, Haas driver Nico Hulkenberg appears on the front line, while Lewis Hamilton takes the front row. In Q2 for the second time in a row, Charles Leclerc and Sergio Perez were both eliminated, and the second race in a row will begin on September 11th and 12th.

After all this season, Mick Schumacher may have been on Formula One's radar, with AlphaTauri keen to face the former Haas driver. Schumacher left Haas' American side at the end of the 2022 season after a string of disappointing results, scoring points just twice throughout the season. Nico Hulkenberg was recalled for 2023, with former German partner Kevin Magnussen scoring six points and the former being confined to two for Haas.

JONATHAN McEVOY - POLE POSITION: Are the Saudi Arabians about to buy Formula One, a subject given fresh impetus by their effective takeover of golf? My research shows that the owners of grand prix racing in the United States are not ready to sell, and that they would not want to hold the game off to another region even after billions. Never say never. Mind you, this is the worst thing ever said. FIA President Mohammed bin Sulayem is from the UAE, and such a move would cause backlash on that front. When the idea was first mooted a few months ago, he was certainly well-exed.

After a major mistake in qualifying for the Spanish Grand Prix cost him two places on the grid, Australian F1 rising star Oscar Piastri was 'pretty ill' - it was just one of a string of unpredictable activities during practice.

IN BARCELONA: Gunther Steiner, Haas' outspoken team principal, has been summoned to appear before the stewards for the offense of bringing the sport into disrepute. Following a protest he made of the panel's adjudicating in Monaco last week, the summons in the Barcelona paddock were released today. He rated the officials as "laymen," the word that has the most ranked in the FIA. Steiner was responding to Nico Hulkenberg's five-second penalty for his attack on Williams' Logan Sargeant on the first lap, which he described as 'completely incorrect.'

Max Verstappen did a double session for Sunday's Spanish Grand Prix, but Lewis Hamilton finished 11th, the seven-time world champion and his Mercedes crew's dwindling day. Verstappen led the way for Red Bull at Circuit de Catalunya, Hamilton, 12th in the day's first running, and ended second practice six tenths off pace. Fernando Alonso, the home favourite, boosted optimism that he might face Verstappen and his all-conquering Red Bull team after finishing second for Aston Martin, just 0.170 seconds behind. Nico Hulkenberg was an impressive third for Haas, with Verstappen's Red Bull teammate Sergio Perez coming in fourth.

Sergio Perez has ignited the global championship race by winning his second Grand Prix of the season in Azerbaijan, much to the annoyance of his title-chasing teammate Max Verstappen. The Red Bull driver outlasted his colleague to finish over two seconds in front of the reigning world champion and kick-off the season's anticipated rivalry. Mail Sport selects ten things we learned from the Azerbaijan Grand Prix from the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
