🇩🇪 Nico Hülkenberg

Nico Hülkenberg is a German racing driver competing in Formula One with Audi. Coming up through the junior single-seater ranks before establishing himself in Formula One, he has built a long career in the sport spanning 166 starts, though a race win has continued to elude him across that span. His sole podium finish stands as the highlight of his grand prix record. Outside of Formula One, Hülkenberg has enjoyed success in endurance racing, most notably winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2015 with Porsche, a result that underlined his versatility as a driver beyond the single-seater discipline.[1]

At present, Hülkenberg holds a Racer Rating of 6,008, placing him 155th among active drivers on a scale where the world's elite sit in the 10,000 to 11,500 range, reflecting a solid but modest current standing relative to the sport's top performers. In the 2026 season, he has yet to register a win or a podium across eight rounds, sitting 22nd in the standings. With zero championships to his name, Hülkenberg remains a veteran presence on the grid with Audi, valued for his experience and consistency rather than outright results, as he continues his active Formula One career.[2]
