About
Nico Hülkenberg is the midfield’s great survivor: a Le Mans winner and one of the quickest qualifiers of his generation, who finally ended his long podium wait at Silverstone in 2025.
In 2026 he leads Audi’s first Formula 1 campaign, bringing two decades of experience to a brand new team. Fourteenth in the championship on 15 points, he is the reference his young team mate is measured against.
