Formula 1 fans watched with tears in their eyes as Nico Hulkenberg finally picked up his first podium at the British Grand Prix earlier this year, ending a streak that saw him start almost 240 F1 races before stepping onto his first rostrum.
That impressive milestone means Hulkenberg no longer holds the, rather unfortunate, record for the most race starts without making the podium - an unwanted honour that returns to Adrian Sutil for now. Yuki Tsunoda is the only current driver close to taking that title having made more than 100 starts without finishing a grand prix in the top three.
