I was 'a sheet of paper' away from major crash - Hülkenberg
German Formula One driver Nico Hülkenberg was a relieved man after a near-horror crash with his Audi team-mate Gabriel Bortoleto at the Dutch Grand Prix on Sunday. "That was awkward and hair-raising," the 39-year-old told reporters.
German Formula One driver Nico Hülkenberg narrowly avoided a major crash during the Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort. The incident occurred on the first lap when Bortoleto spun in a banked corner before the start-finish straight. Hülkenberg's Audi team-mate was only a sheet of paper away from a major collision. The partially wet track conditions did not contribute to the accident that took place in front of Hülkenberg.
Despite the close call, Hülkenberg managed to brake and swerve to avoid Bortoleto, managing to finish the race in eighth place and score points. Bortoleto, however, recovered from his spin and finished in thirteenth position.
