With 12 races left in the season, a lot of eyes are on Nico Hülkenberg, the man who’s steadily making his way through the hurdles with Sauber’s extremely promising updates; the veteran has settled it, once and for all, that he is capable of podiums and points finishes a few more times before the season ends.
The podium at Silverstone wasn’t luck, it was execution from team and driver. As Audi prepares to take full control of the team in 2026, performances like these could help shape who stays, who leads, and how this project builds toward long-term success.
With improved performances and stunning recovery drives, the potential remains for the team and Hülkenberg to propel forward before the season finale in Abu Dhabi.
The main goal would be to maintain consistency and adaptability, especially optimising in circuits that aren’t the team’s strong suit, as seen in Austria.
