VIDEO – Hulkenberg’s daughter celebrates dad’s podium: a moment of pure family joy

All the joy after a historic podium: even Hulkenberg’s daughter, Noemi Sky, celebrates in front of the TV.

After 239 Grands Prix, Nico Hülkenberg has finally claimed the first — and long-awaited — podium of his Formula 1 career. It happened today, July 6th, 2025, at Silverstone, in a chaotic and unpredictable British Grand Prix where strategy made all the difference, as also shown by strong performances from Lance Stroll and Aston Martin. But while the celebration exploded on track, the Hulkenberg home was no less emotional.

It was Egle Hülkenberg, the German driver’s wife, who captured the moment and shared it on Instagram: a perfect, heartfelt story showing her and their daughter Noemi Sky screaming, jumping, and getting emotional in front of the TV as Nico lifts the third-place trophy.

An intimate, spontaneous moment that quickly spread across the web. Noemi’s tiny but ecstatic jumps, her pure excitement — likely without fully grasping the scale of her father’s achievement — said it all: 239 races after his F1 debut, Nico finally made it to the podium.

A long wait. A family celebration.

For those who’ve followed Hülkenberg’s journey, what happened today might be even more meaningful than Norris’ win. It’s an emotional, personal, and almost family-centered milestone. Over the years, Nico was often labeled “the driver without a podium” — a raw talent that never turned into statistics. Always competitive, always present, yet never quite favored by luck, except perhaps with his iconic Le Mans 24H win in WEC.

A double breakthrough: for Nico and for Sauber

Adding to the moment, Hülkenberg achieved this result with Sauber — a team that hadn’t been on the podium in 13 years, since Kamui Kobayashi’s third place at the 2012 Japanese Grand Prix. It’s a shared redemption story: one for the driver, and one for a team that, after years of struggle, has finally built a more competitive car — the C41 — worthy of fighting up front.
