In the 12 races of the season already held, Nico Hulkenberg only scored points twice. The German Haas F1 driver understands the complexities of the team’s situation – they manifested themselves in full force in Belgium, where he also had some bad luck. But he has some hope that the VF-23 will gain speed as early as Zandvoort.
“Sometimes it is better that all the misery happens in one weekend at a time and does not extend over two or three stages,” Niko said gloomily in the broadcast of the ServusTV channel. “But I still hope that we have managed to solve some problems, so that we can go back to work in Zandvoort with fresh forces, because our car is getting a new front wing there.
We expect that this will allow us to make progress and some increase in results. After all, if nothing changes, everything will remain the same, and it is hardly possible to hope for anything. But even in Belgium, where I couldn’t regain any positions, I at least tried to enjoy the battles on the track with other racers.
Of course the team cannot be satisfied that I only have 9 points and Kevin Magnussen has two. Of course we had hoped for more. I don’t know if it was really possible to count on better results, but of course you always want to hope that we can earn something.”
