Nico Hulkenberg was only afforded one season as a Williams driver in 2010, but he made an immediate impression in his debut year, taking pole position for the Brazilian Grand Prix. The German took advantage of drying conditions to secure pole but faded to finish in eighth place as Sebastian Vettel secured victory.
