F1 stalwart reveals Lewis Hamilton snatched title-winning seat from Nico Hulkenberg:
— Ross Brawn, Mercedes Team Principal, disclosed that Nico Hulkenberg was close to securing a seat with Mercedes in 2013, but Lewis Hamilton ultimately took the spot. Speaking to media, Brawn explained:
“When I was at Mercedes, we almost employed Nico because we didn’t know what the situation was with Lewis for 2013.”
“We were having a challenging time closing that [Hamilton] deal and Nico was on standby. He behaved in a very mature way during those discussions.”
— Brawn made it clear to Hulkenberg that his opportunity depended on Hamilton’s decision:
“I made it as transparent as possible what the situation was, that there was a chance [of a Mercedes deal], but it depended on what Lewis decided to do in the end.”
“When Lewis did sign with us, we managed to sort things out with Nico that we couldn’t go ahead.”
“But I was quite looking forward to working with him because I think he’s a great driver.”
— Reflecting on Hulkenberg’s career, Brawn was pleased to see him finally achieve a podium finish at Silverstone:
“It’s hard to imagine that Silverstone was his first podium after so long and after some great performances and great drives. That outcome was lovely to see.”
but fun fact:
