Nico Hülkenberg Facts

Apart from his native German language, Nico is also fluent in Dutch, French, and English.

He started his career with kart racing and became the ‘German Junior Karting Champion’ in 2002 and won the ‘German Kart Championship’ in 2003.

As of February 2020, he held the record for starting the most F1 races (177) without reaching the podium. He had broken the previous record (128 races, held by Adrian Sutil) when he had failed to finish the 2017 Singapore Grand Prix.

When he won the 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race in 2015, it was the Porsche team’s first overall victory at the prestigious event since 1998. The feat also made Nico the first active F1 driver to win this event since Johnny Herbert and Bertrand Gachot in 1991.
