Nico Hulkenberg finished on the podium for the first time in his F1 career in Silverstone. For his wife and daughter, this meant a huge celebration. Although the two were not present at the circuit, they were cheering on Hulkenberg from home.

Nico Hulkenberg managed to keep a cool head under the changeable conditions at Silverstone and drove a flawless race. After a dramatic qualification, the German had to start from P19. But with a strong strategy and making no mistakes, Hulkenberg achieved his first podium.

His wife, Egle Hulkenberg, and daughter, Noemi Sky, are often present track-side to support their husband and father. This weekend at Silverstone was not the case, but this did not mean Hulkenberg could not count on their support. The two followed the race from home and were thrilled that he finished on P3. It provided touching images.

The German has started 239 Formula 1 races before clinching this podium. He held the record for having the most races without a top 3 finish. A fellow German driver, Adrian Sutil, now has that record once again. Out of the current drivers, Yuki Tsunoda now has the most Grands Prix with a podium, with that number standing at 99.

The last time a German driver was on a podium was in 2021 at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, where Sebastian Vettel finished in second place.
