Nico Hulkenberg Made Sebastian Vettel’s Already Miserable Season Go From Bad to Worse

Sebastian Vettel is standing on quicksand right now. Every weekend is an inevitable plummet further into the worst season of his career. The Italians had left him astray. His confidence deserted him and he was frantically trying to swim ashore.

Although Racing Point threw him a life jacket, it isn’t until next year that they can reel him onto their ship.

Racing Point’s decision may hurt the champion further. Although unintentional, Nico Hulkenberg’s performance within the ‘Pink Mercedes’ paved the way for another painful comparison for Sebastian Vettel. Twitter hasn’t been kind to the German, and this aggravates the situation.

The tweet reads,” Nico Hulkenberg has scored more points than Sebastian Vettel over the last seven races.”

The underlying problems seldom concern the critiques. There absolute ignorance of several difficulties faced by the German at the Italian camp is harsh. However, as the tough circus of F1 functions, it gets worse.

Sebastian Vettel and Nico Hulkenberg – unrealistic comparison

Nico Hulkenberg harbors no personal vendetta against his compatriot. Both the germans are exceptionally talented in wielding the wheel. However, the Ferrari car is not working according to Vettel, whereas Racing Point’s is good enough to compete with the Mercedes.

However, from an unbiased point of view, Hulkenberg’s achievement is also commendable. Racking up more points than Vettel by being a sub driver this season deserves applause. Hulkenberg barely raced at 3 Grand Prix this season and stands at 10 points.

On the other hand, Sebastian Vettel could only manage 7 points with a DNF at the Italian Grand Prix. Hulkenberg racked points in both the races, whereas Vettel could only score in two out of the 7 he raced in.

Nico Rosberg had recently outlined the problems troubling Sebastian Vettel. His place at Ferrari got replaced by a rookie. Next, they dropped him to sign Sainz. All this contributed to Vettel being caught up in a negative spiral. His confidence took a heavy hit. An underperforming car with an unconfident racer is a recipe for destruction.

Vettel has lost out on an important year in his career. Although he will look forward to lifting it up next year, his morale took a severe hit. To improve that, Racing Point will have to burn the midnight oil. A podium or a good race could help the German, but that is unlikely in this situation.
