Haas’ Nico Hulkenberg narrowly loses out on points finish at Emilia Romagna GP

Nico Hulkenberg has delivered impressive results for the Haas F1 team this season. The German driver continued his good form at Imola after making it to the top 10 in Qualifying. Moreover, Hulkenberg even claimed that he and Max Verstappen provided twos to one another during the session.

Haas was hoping to see Nico Hulkenberg bring in some crucial points in the Sunday race. However, the 36-year-old could only manage a P11 finish, just one step away from scoring points. Nevertheless, Imola remains a positive weekend for the American team. Hulkenberg’s teammate Kevin Magnussen finished right behind the German driver in P12.

Certainly, Haas would be hoping to make further progress in the coming races. The American team currently sits seventh in the F1 standings, 12 points behind RB. As such, Nico Hulkenberg and Kevin Magnussen would need to push the car to the limit to gain ground against the Red Bull sister team in the coming races.
