28 push-ups to glory: the viral challenge that celebrated Hulkenberg’s podium has come to an end

The challenge began 28 days before the scheduled Silverstone Grand Prix. He declared he would do one additional push-up each day until Hülkenberg either reached the podium or ended his career.

The challenge ended sooner than expected, as Hulkenberg astonishingly made it to the podium at Silverstone — the German’s first in 239 Formula 1 races.

The YouTuber pointed out that the number 27 was meant to bring luck, as it’s Hülkenberg’s car number. The video shows him completing his final 28 push-ups for the Stake team.
