Hulkenberg dominates at Norisring

At the 2.3 kilometres long Norisring, Nico Hülkenberg celebrated his second season victory in the Formula 3 Euro Series. The 20-year old test driver of the Williams Formula 1 team won with a margin of 6.651 seconds over Koudai Tsukakoshi, who came second. Behind Jean-Karl Vernay, the points leader, Italian Edoardo Mortara took the chequered flag in fourth place. After his victory, Hülkenberg moved up to second in the points' standings.

At the start, Mika Mäki outpaced Hülkenberg, who had started from pole. However, under braking before the Grundig-hairpin, the Finn missed his braking point and the German went past. A few metres later, Mäki collided with rookie driver, Jules Bianchi. Both drivers retired.

From that time on, Hülkenberg's victory was never in jeopardy, just like Tsukakoshi's second place. Vernay, on the other hand, only moved up into a podium position on lap 13, when he overtook Rodolfo Gonzalez in the battle for third place. For the Frenchman, it was his first podium of the season.

Nico Hülkenberg commented on his race win: "Today, it is a great day for me with this perfect result. I have scored many points. It would be perfect when I could also score many points tomorrow. Of course, now I am happy. The team gave me a perfect car again. The experience of my ART team just becomes clear, they have been unbeaten here at Norisring since 2005."
