Hülkenberg's Long Wait Is over After First Podium Finish in His 239th F1 Race

  • Nico Hulkenberg secured his first Formula 1 podium in his 239th race at the rain-affected 2025 British Grand Prix in Silverstone, England.
  • Sauber's last-place finish in 2024 and their struggle with just four points set the stage for this significant performance improvement.
  • Hulkenberg started 19th, used a well-timed pit stop in mixed conditions, and held off home favorite Lewis Hamilton to claim third place.
  • Hulkenberg said, "It's been a long time coming," and noted the trophies were made of LEGO, with teammate Oscar Piastri also highlighting this fact.
  • This maiden podium lifted Sauber to sixth in the championship and ended Hulkenberg's record for most starts without a top-three finish in F1.
