A "flustered" Nico Hulkenberg’s two late errors boosted rookie Formula 1 drivers Franco Colapinto and Ollie Bearman, plus Mercedes racer Lewis Hamilton, in unseen incidents at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix’s close.
By keeping his pace high and medium tyres alive in the first stint on Sunday, Hulkenberg was eventually given a team order to move past temporary team-mate Bearman ahead, while his impressive tyre management on the hards later in the race meant he had split the Williams pair that had started ahead and was on for 10th place.
