2016 F1 world champion 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nico Rosberg has claimed that 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nico Hulkenberg’s lack of “social intelligence” contributed to him underachieving in ღhis career so far.

Despite Hulkenberg’s re🉐putation, he has never finished on an F1ꦿ podium.

The German had numerous opportunities to do so, particularly🌺 at Force India, but due to strategy or driver error, a rostrum appearance has continued to elude him.

Hulkenberg was dropped by Renauꦆlt at the end of 2019, leaving him on 𝔉the sidelines as Racing Point’s reserve and test driver.

He ultimatelyꦿ made his return in 2023 and, since his comeback with Haas, his reputation has🤪 only been enhanced.

Hulkenberg will now spearhead Audi’s project, leading Sauber in 2025 ahead of the German giant’s entry into F1 next༺ year.

Speaking to Sky Sports at the end of 20💙24, Rosberg reflected on his fellow countryman’s undera🎐chievement in F1.

“It’s unbelievable that Nico Hulkenberg has never been on the podium,” Rosberg commented. “He was the biggest talent coming up in For🏅mula 3, Formula 2, and showed glimpses of absolute geni𝓡us in Formula 1.

“But, somehow, [he] never lived up to that expectation, apart from again this year, where he really seemed to be so special out t⭕here, maximising the ca♍r all the time.

“In qualifying, you would 🐬say he’s one of the best qualifiers from the whole grid this year, it’s been amazing to watc🌃h.

“Of course, there⭕’s still question marks on his race pace and craft sometimes, but even there, this year, he’s done well.”

Hulkenberg ‘burned bridges’ in F1

Despite being a top midfield performer, unlike Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Perez,🏅 Hulkenberg has never had the chance to drive top machinery.

Hulkenberg was in tꦚalks with Ferrari for 2014, but tꦗhey opted for Kimi Raikkonen.

He was also in the frame to join Red Bull in ꦉ2021, but Perez ultimately got the no♏d.

“If you show that you are one of the best, you will get to the lucky car, and he never really showed it,” Rosbe🉐rg ad♋ded.

“Plus, he was not the best socially,🅘 you know, social intelligence, working on the team bosses to get🍨 yourself in the right position, because he burned some bridges there, early in his career – that was one thing that he could have done better.”
