Hulkenberg starred in qua🀅lifying, securing fourth at the Yas Marina Circuit.

However, he will💦 now start Sunday’s race from seventh on the grid.

Why has Hulkenberg been penalised?

The stewards noted: “The Stewards heard from the driver of C꧟ar 27 (Nico Hulkenberg), team representative and reviewed marshalling system data, video, timing and in-car video evidence.

“The driver did not dispute during the hearing that he did not follow the Race Director’s instructions, but stated that he had no other option but to breach the rules in order to get a lap i🌞n.

“Whilst the Stewards ༺acknowledge that the position of the team’s garages limits their options to send the cars out on track, this can never be used as an excuse to breach any regulations.

“The prohibition of overtaking in certain areas as ꦗthe pit lane or, in this case, the pit exit, is implemented to prevent potentially dangerous situations and therefore the Stewards determine that a grid drop is warranted in this case.”

What did Hulkenberg say?

Despite showing great pace throughout Friday💟 practice, Hulkenberg didn’t expect Haas’ performanc𒅌e to be so strong.

He told Sky Sports: “I had a good feeling🌠 from FP1 yesterday and I had a sort of good idea that a top ten was definitely possible this weekend. But that good? No – I did not expect,” Hulkenberg told Sky.

“So many of the top dogs are strugglingꦛ a little bit. But th♉e car’s been good. We’ve been good on the execution side, so a very good quali for us.”
