Nico Hülkenberg has impressed engineers from day one, delivering sharper, more impactful feedback than Bottas during early testing sessions.
Even before turning a competitive wheel for his new team, Nico Hülkenberg is already making waves — not on the track, but in the garage. According to team insiders, the German driver’s technical feedback during early sessions has been outstanding, and, notably, more valuable than that of teammate Valtteri Bottas.
“Hülkenberg’s input has been remarkably precise and immediately actionable,” a senior figure within the team shared. “It’s the most insightful feedback we’ve received in a very long time.”
While Bottas remains a respected and experienced figure in the paddock, sources suggest his debriefs have lacked the depth and clarity that engineers are now receiving from Hülkenberg. The contrast has been striking — and quietly noted within the team’s engineering department.
This early contribution from Hülkenberg is already influencing development direction and setup choices, signaling a strong start to his tenure. If his performance on track matches the quality of his input off it, the team may have found more than just a solid driver — they may have secured a true asset for the season ahead.
