7. NICO HULKENBERG
That was an intense race and I don’t know whether to laugh or cry because I think
a possible podium slipped away. I had great confidence in the car, felt comfortable
and I had the pace to push and overtake. There were some scary moments in
the race, especially when Kimi crashed in front of me. Some of his debris hit my
car and caused a lot of damage. At least I survived that, but then I picked up a
puncture from the debris, which was so frustrating because it dropped me down
to the back of the field. Without the puncture, who knows where I might have
finished? I’m happy and proud of myself and the team. We did a great job, but we
were just missing a bit of luck.
