Nico Hulkenberg: Finishes 11th in Japan

Hulkenberg finished 11th at the Japanese Grand Prix F1 race at Suzuka Circuit on Sunday.

Analysis:

Hulkenberg was slightly off his typical pace in qualifying, as he lined up 13th on the grid while missing out on Q3 by roughly 0.25 seconds. He ran a strong first stint and ultimately was able to pass his teammate to finish 11th -- his second consecutive race finishing in that position. However, Hulkenberg has yet to tally a point through three races this season.
