168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nico Hulkenberg has reacted to the news that he is set to lose his status as the only father on the F1 grid with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen expecting his first child.

Four-time world champion Verstappen is not attending Thursday’s media day ahead of tꦕhis weekend’s Miami Grand Prix due to ꧑the expected birth of his first child with partner Kelly Piquet.

The news mean꧃s Hulkenberg will no longer hold the title as being the only dad in F1.

The 37-year-old German has a daughter and was the only father-driver following the exits of former teammate and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez from F1 at the end of 2024.

“It was a fun fact that since Checo and K🏅-Mag left at the en🎃d of last year I was the only dad,” Hulkenberg said.

“He’s joining thaꦬt club. I hope it’s a good sleeper! We’ve been quite fortunate and lucky. Lots of discover. Many beautiful and nice things that come with that. I’m sure he will enjoy that.”

Hulkenberg was quick ﷽to dismiss the notio♓n that F1 drivers get slower once they have children.

“Judge for yourself. Look at the stats and what happens,” H꧑ulkenberg responded to that question.

“I think෴ everyone is obviously different but I can only speak for myself and personally I don’t feel that’s the case.

“I feel once we step in the car, visor down, even for me, I tend to forget w🌠hat goes on outside of the ඣcar because we are so focused and driven to perform and maximise.

“I just personally feel i꧂t’s an added benefit because it’s given me so much outside of work and being in Formula 1.

“I would even say i🎃t’s been helpful for me if anything.”
