Nico Hulkenberg makes his feelings known on P9 finish at the Austrian Grand Prix

Despite struggling with the front grip during the Free Practice 2 session before the 2025 Austrian Grand Prix, Nico Hulkenberg finished P9 and landed himself in the top 10.

Reflecting on his performance in a post-race interview, the Sauber driver said that it was "a great feeling to be in the points for the third time in a row" despite a tough qualifying. The 2015 Le Mans winner was visibly disappointed after his Austrian GP qualifying result, wherein he qualified last.

Hulkenberg accepted that he made a mistake in Turn 4 by locking up the front right and running wide, resulting in missing the apex.

"It was costly in terms of lap time, and obviously frustrating, especially knowing the potential we had in the car today," Nico said in a post-qualifying interview, via Formula1.

However, the Sauber racer was in high spirits after finishing P9 at the Austrian GP, wherein he credited the execution of an "aggressive strategy" featuring an early first stop and making the tires last while keeping the pace strong.

In his post-race interview, Nico Hulkenberg expressed confidence in his ride's race pace, adding that he and his team were able to make "the most of the opportunities" at the Austrian GP.

"Since Barcelona, we’ve found a better balance with the car and the performance is coming together more consistently. That’s encouraging. We've shown consistent good performance three times in a row now on different track layouts," Hulkenberg added.

The Austrian GP resulted in double points for Sauber, as Nico Hulkenberg's teammate, Gabriel Bortoleto, scored his first points in F1, adding another six for the team.

Hulkenberg took to Instagram to congratulate his teammate and boast his P9 finish, stating that his hard work had paid off.
