Hulk has had plenty of drives (more than 180 starts) and managed to get zero podiums.
Here is a list of drivers with more podiums than Hulk: https://www.statsf1.com/en/statistiques/pilote/podium/nombre.aspx

Notable names: STROLL Lance, MONTEIRO TIAGO, PETROV Vitaly, GLOCK Timo, KVYAT Daniil, WURZ Alexander, BLUNDELL Mark



Tiago Monteiro’s podium was fortuitous, Stroll got fairly lucky, the rest are decent to good drivers.

I'll give you Monteiro, that was an absolute freak incident. I wouldn't call Petrov a decent driver, and the rest don't really have shining records either. Let's see some others. MORENO Roberto, MORBIDELLI Gianni, GUGELMIN Mauricio, BRAMBILLA Vittorio, GIACOMELLI Bruno, SUZUKI Aguri, and PIQUET Nelsinho.

If, by the time that you've done 180 races, you haven't even lucked into a podium, a feat which has been managed in cars such as the Larousse (Lola) LC90 and the Scuderia Italia (Dallara) F191, maybe you're just not meant for it. There's only four drivers who have less than 1% podium finishes per race, and two of them are Sainz and KMag. If Hulk got a podium this season (say race start 180, for ease of numbers), he'd be at 0,55%, just about half of the illustrious Takuma Sato.

I wish Hulk no ill, but all the talk about him getting his podium is just rooting for the joke character rather than anything based on legitimate "skill" (by whatever definition). And I just love having a driver do 50% more races than the next one (Sutil) and still have 0 podiums.

I have a theory- it's a little outlandish but I'm not entirely convinced Max Chilton is a very good racing driver at all.

Not saying Hulk is good or anything but there is zero point comparing his record to anything to do with early 90s cars aka the "2 cars finish on the lead lap and anyone left standing gets a podium" era.

1. Roberto Moreno is a good driver that managed to qualify an Andrea Moda.
2. Morbidelli is a decent driver.
3. Gugelmin is also a decent driver. Plus 1989 had a ton of attrition.
4. Brambilla owns.
5. Giacomelli is also decent.
6. Aguri Suzuki was probably the best Japanese driver until Sato came on the scene.


The Lola LC90 was a good car, as was the F191.

Also, aside from like 1989 (and even then) it was extremely difficult to get a podium. You don’t “luck” into them. It also fails to take into account that prior to about the late 1990s attrition was a major factor - one that Hulkenberg hasn’t benefitted from.



I personally think he’s overrated.

You know what I'd like to see?

A midseason swap between Ferrari and Yamaha.

Valentino Rossi at the scuderia for just one race. C'mon, get in there Valley.

Then Vettel could complete the final solution on a MotoGP bike. He and Schumi going out together.
