Hülkenberg receives compliments from the whole paddock: "Hats off!"

Nico Hülkenberg has delivered his business cards in Formula 1 over the weekend. The German driver joined Racing Point last week to replace Sergio Perez and only receives praise from the paddock. Red Bull Racing advisor Helmut Marko is also very enthusiastic about Hülkenberg.

Helmut Marko full of praise

Hülkenberg stands out in the paddock, Marko has also seen what the former Renault driver can do when he just gets into a car: "That was his second weekend and then such a qualifying performance after such a long break: "I must say it was great. Hats off", Marko says to the German RTL.

Daniel Ricciardo was Hülkenberg's teammate last year and he was impressed by his former teammate. "He did a good job, he did a great job. That car is quick this year, but I can’t say that it’s just the car. Nico has just come off the couch after eight months."

Nico will take his chances

Valtteri Bottas says he's happy to see The Hulk in the top three in qualifying. "He did a great job. He’s a really experienced driver, so of course, he’s gonna try and attack if there’s an opportunity."
