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.

A mindset, not a moment.

We demand the very best of ourselves, constantly learning, challenging ourselves and pushing forward together. It comes from working smarter, not simply working more, and from patience, resilience and ownership carried through every part of our organisation.
