Audi Revolut F1 Team went one place away from scoring back-to-back points, as Nico Hulkenberg finished in 11th place at the Chinese Grand Prix. It was a gritty performance from the German, who started just outside the top ten and fought for a place in the points from start to finish: ultimately, a wheelgun issue at his pit stop meant he couldn’t complete his comeback for what would have been a deserved reward.

The German driver missed out on a spot in Q3 for the tiniest of margins, 0.002s, but will at least have the consolation of an additional set of tyres for tomorrow’s race. Team-mate, Gabriel Bortoleto, was 16th at the end of Q2 after his final attempt, in which he was improving his time, came to nought with an off-track moment at the final corner.
