TECH WEEKLY: How Kick Sauber’s hard work on upgrades paid off with Hulkenberg’s P5 in Spain
Kick Sauber’s aggressive development programme for their C45 continued in Barcelona, with Nico Hulkenberg going on to take an impressive fifth at the Spanish Grand Prix.


Kick Sauber’s aggressive development programme for their C45 continued in Barcelona, where an all-new floor brought a significant performance upgrade, one which was rewarded in the race by an official fifth place (sixth across the line) for Nico Hulkenberg.
