Spa: Hülkenberg can fly away

Nico Hulkenberg perhaps did not expect to win the title of GP2 Series champion so quickly. But, after the start of the season dominated by Romain Grosjean, the Franco-Swiss took his foot off the gas, before going into exile in the seat of Formula 1 du Renault F1 Team. Thus, the German driver finds himself today in an ideal situation, having been the most prolific GP2 driver during the last three race weekends.

With three rounds to go before the end of the season, Nico Hülkenberg knows that he has all the assets to succeed Giorgio Pantano on the list of winners. With twenty points ahead of Vitaly Petrov – the Russian being the only one able to thwart the young German's plans – the test driver at Williams F1 will be champion if it manages to maintain this margin before the last event of the season, in Portugal (Algarve), on September 19 and 20. If he proves as comfortable in the coming weeks as in the last few races, the ART Grand Prix driver will be able to celebrate his title in Monza, before the Algarve, in front of all the Formula 1 team bosses. secure its future car.
