The road to F1

Hulkenberg began karting in 1997 at age 10, winning the German Junior Karting Championship in 2002 and the German Kart Championship in 2003. He moved to single-seaters in 2005, winning the Formula BMW ADAC title, then dominated A1 Grand Prix for Team Germany in 2006-07 with nine victories. After claiming the 2008 Formula 3 Euro Series title with ART, he won the 2009 GP2 Series championship in his rookie season, becoming only the third driver to do so after Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton. Williams signed him as a test driver from 2007 and confirmed him as a race driver in November 2009, leading to his F1 debut at the 2010 Bahrain Grand Prix.
