P10 in Sao Paulo GP 'the maximum possible' – Hulkenberg

Nico Hulkenberg secured a vital point for Audi by finishing tenth in the Sao Paulo Grand Prix after recovering from a 10-second penalty. Starting fourth following an impressive wet qualifying session, Hulkenberg slipped back as the track dried and received a penalty for cutting the track while battling Franco Colapinto. Despite the setback, he fought back and overtook Arvid Lindblad in the closing stages, describing the result as the maximum possible given their pace. Meanwhile, teammate Gabriel Bortoleto finished sixteenth after starting nineteenth due to a qualifying crash. The Brazilian home hero noted that his pace in free air was very positive, though overtaking proved difficult in wet conditions due to power limitations. Despite the challenging weekend, Bortoleto expressed gratitude for the fans' support as the team looks ahead to the next race, with Audi closing the gap to Haas in the constructors' standings.
