F1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix: 5 Talking Points

2 - Hulk's Spectacular End to 2018

F1 Grand Prix of Abu Dhabi - Practice

Nico Hulkenberg has had a superb, if not a tad quiet season in 2018. The German has been extremely consistent throughout the campaign, scoring solid points regularly without threatening the podium. This good streak of results has meant that he finishes '18 in seventh place, the coveted "best of the rest" spot.

The Renault driver definitely caught the eye today, though, totalling his car after a battle with Romain Grosjean. The two were racing for the 7th place down the first back-straight, with Nico squeezing Grosjean off the road.

When Romain rejoined, perhaps a little too forcefully, their wheels contacted each other, sending the Hulk airbourne and somersaulting into the barriers. It was a savage roll, but Nico was alright once he was righted. Hulkenberg's had an incredible season, though, he's been crucial to Renault's 4th place in the constructor's championship and I can't wait to see him go toe-to-toe with Ricciardo next year.
