#2 Hulk gets Smashed
Formerly, the 'other' Nico in Formula One, and now the 'other' German driver on the grid, it is also Nico Hulkenberg's home GP this Sunday in Germany. Currently a phenomenal 7th in the driver's championship standings, Hulkenberg has finished 9th or higher in every one of the races that he has finished this season.
Aside from a mistake in Baku that saw his car retire, Hulkenberg has had two other retirements in Spain and Austria that were no fault of his own. That being said, home races haven't been the best for drivers this season, LeClerc in Monaco and Ocon in France come to mind. Our pick for the home driver to take a hit this Sunday is Hulkenberg!
Likely that since he is such a skilled driver, a shunt for Hulkenberg won't necessarily be due to him. However, while we predict the home crowd seeing a victory as Vettel takes pole on Saturday, we see Hulkenberg taking an early exit in Germany.
