Audi Formula 1 driver Nico Hulkenberg has revealed how he narrowly avoided a disastrous accident with team-mate Gabriel Bortoleto at the Dutch Grand Prix. The German described the close call as 'scary' but credited both luck and his quick thinking for avoiding a major shunt on the damp Zandvoort circuit.

The incident occurred during the early stages of the race when conditions were tricky, with the track still damp from a pre-rain shower but dry enough for slick tires. Hulkenberg's quick reflexes prevented what could have been a significant collision between the two Audi drivers. sport-tr.bet
