With over 250 Grands Prix, Nico Hulkenberg is one of Formula 1®'s most experienced drivers. His talent extends beyond F1®, having secured victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans with Porsche in 2015, and winning every single-seater championship he competed in on his way to motorsport's pinnacle, including the GP2 Series title in 2009.

Hulkenberg made his Formula 1® debut with Williams in 2010, claiming a pole position in his rookie season. He subsequently drove for Force India, Sauber, and Renault between 2012 and 2019, establishing a reputation as a quick driver with deep technical knowledge.

After a period as a highly regarded reserve driver, he returned to a full-time seat with Haas in 2023. His impressive performances led to him being announced as the first signing for the future Audi F1® factory team in April 2024.

Competing for Sauber in 2025, Hulkenberg played a key role in carrying the team, culminating in his maiden Formula One podium at Silverstone. As a central figure on Audi Revolut F1® Team, his extensive experience is crucial to the long-term project, alongside teammate Gabriel Bortoleto.
