Hulkenberg admits to tyre gamble at the Canadian Grand Prix

Nico Hulkenberg has been refreshingly blunt about the Canadian Grand Prix, admitting that the team made the wrong call when they fitted intermediate tyres to his Audi. It is the kind of tactical gamble that can look brilliant on paper and fall apart the moment the lights go out.

Unfortunately, the decision backfired entirely. Hulkenberg spent the race fighting the conditions and the equipment, eventually crossing the line in 12th place. That result put him firmly outside the points, serving as a tough lesson on just how thin the margin is between a masterstroke and a disaster.
