Hulkenberg avoids spinning Bortoleto in Dutch GP near miss
Nico Hulkenberg said a "scary" moment with Audi team-mate Gabriel Bortoleto in the Dutch Grand Prix came down to a mix of luck and judgement. The incident happened in tricky conditions at Zandvoort, where the track was still damp after a pre-race shower but dry enough for slick tyres.
Audi driver Nico Hulkenberg described his incident with team-mate Gabriel Bortoleto in the Dutch Grand Prix as "scary", saying avoiding a major accident was the result of both luck and judgement. Formula 1 and Motorsport.com both reported it as a near miss for the team.
The moment came at Zandvoort in mixed conditions. The circuit remained damp following a pre-race shower, although it was dry enough for slick tyres.
Earlier in the race, Max Verstappen crashed heavily at the end of lap one in the final banked corner. Against that backdrop, Hulkenberg managed to avoid Bortoleto after his team-mate spun, preventing what could have been a significant shunt for Audi.
