Nico Rosberg has praised Nico Hulkenberg's remarkable reaction during a chaotic start to the Dutch Grand Prix. With rain having stopped before the race began, wet patches remained on the track. Max Verstappen crashed into the barriers while turning the final corner, and Bortoleto managed to continue after a spin.

Hulkenberg went on to secure his best result of the season, finishing eighth place and earning four valuable points for Audi.
