F1 News: Hulkenberg “Dragged that dog into Q3 so many times”

Nico Hulkenberg recently was very negative about upgrades rolled out by the Haas Formula 1 team made the car slower.

Speaking to Sky Germany, Hulkenberg initially claimed that he has demonstrated how the Haas F1 car, even after the upgrade, is not quick enough. Furthermore, he said that the team’s development was at a standstill instead of being on an upward trajectory.

“I have demonstrated that the new car is not faster. And that is quite clearly a problem,” Hulkenberg said. “It’s a message to our factory, the engineers and the mechanics. Next year, we have to do things differently. That has been our problem this year. Our development was at a standstill.”

Here are some reactions from fans:

The most useless team on the grid, yet somehow Andretti continuously gets blocked make it make sense

I like that he‘s so direct. The Team and the Factory surely work very hard, but they need to be honest with themselves. They did a bad job, period

Haas were bigging up that they were finally at the budget cap and that would improve their development rate. Then they just didn’t develop.
