A special day for Hulkenberg

40

OK, so we're a day late (forgive us, it's not easy getting from Montreal to Baku) but June 14 marked one year since Nico Hulkenberg went from F1 driver to Le Mans winner. The German took victory for Porsche on his Le Mans debut, winning alongside Nick Tandy and fellow rookie Earl Bamber. Sadly, Hulkenberg doesn't get a chance to defend his title due to this weekend's Grand Prix of Europe clash, although there would not have been space for him anyway as Porsche is not running a third entry. Hulkenberg says he will still be watching as much of the race as possible to see how Porsche gets on.
