Nico Hülkenberg on the weather and the chances of making up the deficit
With three rounds left in the season Sauber sit second-to-last in the Constructors' Championship, but the results are close — they are only twenty points behind Racing Bulls in sixth place. Nevertheless, Nico Hülkenberg thinks it will be difficult to claw back.
Nico Hülkenberg: "Vegas has a decent circuit, but the round comes too late — at the end of the year, when it's too cold here. That spoils the enjoyment a bit. Imagine if it were around 20 degrees! It would be much better for everyone.
However, I don't think this will affect the pecking order — we'll be fighting in roughly the same positions against the same rivals.
Making up 20 points is almost impossible. Judging by recent results, you need some special circumstances for us to be able to claw back. If all the races go as usual and the top teams' drivers don't run into problems, making up twenty points is very difficult.
Tyre wear? I don't know what it will be like. The situation is the same for everyone. Tyre wear will be what it will be!"
