2023 Fantasy Outlook

Hülkenberg is eager to return to a Formula One car as a full-time driver since his departure from the series in 2019, despite his recent filling-in for Sebastian Vettel at Aston Martin at the beginning of 2022. The German brings a lot of on-track experience (181 F1 starts) to Team Haas, in direct contrast to previous Haas driver and 2021 rookie Mick Schumacher, who could not quite muster up enough of a successful season last year to keep his seat with the team. In previous seasons with Renault and Force India, Hülkenberg has consistently been a Top-10 finisher, and Haas Team Principal Guenther Steiner is hopeful that the driver of the No. 27 car can call on some of his previous proficiency behind the wheel to deliver a satisfactory performance for Haas in 2023.

Remarkable finish in Spain

Formula One

June 1, 2025

Hulkenberg finished fifth at the Spanish Grand Prix F1 race at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya on Sunday.

ANALYSIS
Hulkenberg didn't appear to be in line for any type of special weekend after qualifying 15th. However, he drove impressively in all three stints of Sunday's race, picking up a few spots as the lights went out on the opening lap. Hulkenberg then ran an impressive 30 laps on medium tires in his second stint, pushing him into point-scoring range. Finally, he got fresh soft tires after the field was bunched up by a safety car late in the race, allowing him to pick up an additional two spots to deliver his best finish of the season and second points-scoring finish.
