Hülkenberg: The weekend was challenging, and the result is all the more pleasing.

      Nico Hülkenberg finished in the points for the second weekend in a row, taking eighth place in Zandvoort, which allowed Audi F1 to extend its lead over Williams in the Constructors' Championship and solidify its position in eighth place in the team standings.

      But, as always, there were some adventures, starting on the first lap when Gabriel Bortoleto's car spun 360 degrees at high speed. This happened literally in front of the nose cone of his Audi teammate.

      Nico Hülkenberg (8th): "It was a very good race, although the end of the first lap was quite scary. I saw what was happening ahead and just instinctively reacted, so I felt relieved when I managed to avoid the crash.

      After that, everything went well, we executed a good strategy, and I had a few interesting duels along the way. I'm very happy that I was able to earn points today. They are very important for the team as they boost everyone's morale and confirm that the work we are doing is moving in the right direction.

      The weekend wasn't the easiest, so it's even more pleasant that it ended with a good result."

      Gabriel Bortoleto (13th): "The end of the weekend was somewhat disappointing. Unfortunately, we had some difficulties at the start that prevented us from fully utilizing our starting position. And when I saw smoke from Max Verstappen's car and made a slight steering adjustment to correct my trajectory, my car spun. Fortunately, I managed to avoid contact with the walls.

      The team did a great job trying to improve my situation, and I was able to recover, so it's a shame we couldn't achieve the desired result. But it's good that Nico earned some points, adding to the team's tally.

      We have good pace, and until yesterday, I was satisfied with how the car was performing, so we need to use the experience gained in preparation for the race in Monza."
