A "STABLE" SESSION

Monza - Nico Hulkenberg has ended up on rank 12 after a favourable session on friday at the GP of Italy. Altogether, the Force India pilot drove 21 laps and achieved with 1:26.826 minutes his quickest lap at the Free Practice in Monza.

"I have felt really comfortable from the beginning of the session“, said the Hulk. "The car was very stable and the balance didn’t need a lot of changes.“ Though a small technical problem stopped him from gaining an even faster lap time, the résumé is positive all in all.
The session’s fastet lap achieved Lewis Hamilton (McLaren) with 1:23.865 minutes, who was clearly ahead of team member Jenson Button (+0.921) and Sebastian Vettel (Red Bull/+1.366).

Hulkenberg will be granted a break at the next GP in Singapore (September, 23rd – September 25th) and therefore he won’t be participating in the Free Practice. So the Hulk will be back in the car at the Practice of Japan’s GP from October 7th to October 9th.
