With the result seemingly putting Haas back into the fight for P7 in the constructors’ championship – having now amassed 19 points, 10 points more than Alpine in P8 – Hulkenberg credited the team for seizing an opportunity to score.
“You’ve got to be there weekend-in weekend-out, consistency in a long season is key,” the 36-year-old remarked. “Also this year we’ve obviously worked much better and efficiently in terms of bringing updates.
“We’ve steadily improved the car, that means we can keep up with the others. We’ve got another one coming next weekend so, yeah, I’m excited for that. Silverstone anyway [is] one of my favourites, so I’m looking forward to a good week.”
