Audi Formula 1 driver Nico Hulkenberg has described his "scary" moment avoiding a massive shunt with team-mate Gabriel Bortoleto at the Dutch Grand Prix as a combination of luck and good judgement. The incident occurred on a Zandvoort circuit that was still damp from a pre-rain shower but dry enough for slick tyres. afnews.co.za

With Max Verstappen having already suffered a heavy crash at the end of lap one in the final, banked corner, Hulkenberg managed to avoid what could have been a disastrous accident with his Audi team-mate. The German driver emphasized the importance of both luck and quick thinking in preventing a collision that could have significantly impacted both drivers' races.
