2014, a satisfactory year for Nico Hülkenberg

Returning to the Force India team at the start of this season after a first collaboration between 2011 and 2012, the German Nico Hulkenberg was able to enjoy a lively VJM07, helped by the Power Unit Mercedes. “Overall, I'm pretty happy with 2014, indicates the 27-year-old pilot on the website of the F1. It was my best season in terms of points scored and in terms of my position in the championship. The first half of the year was very pleasant when the car was at its best and what we benefited from. We worked hard to reach four fifth places, and those were definitely our best moments. »

“Hülk” also hopes to continue this great momentum in 2015, again thanks to the qualities of the star’s block. “Having the Mercedes engine should put us in a good position, especially at the start of the season. It was definitely the best mover in 2014 and I expect it to be the same in 2015. Stable regulations bring pros and cons and it is difficult for me to make predictions. We just need to make sure we make the right decisions during the winter. We finished the year strong so that’s encouraging. »

The German will also have another program in 2015, with his first racing appearances in World ChampionshipEndurance en LM P1 au volant de la Porsche 919 hybrid that he will drive at Spa in Belgium, on May 2, and especially at the 24 Hours of Le Mans (June 13-14). “A few days ago I accomplished my first try of the Porsche 919. My first impressions are very positive, even though I have very little experience in these cars. Driving at Le Mans is something I have always wanted to do. It’s a legendary race. So of course I’m looking forward to that little extra challenge in 2015.”
