The universe is unwilling to give any points to Nico this season wtf

Edit: Official report from Audi confirms this (thanks belluck in the comments) https://www.audif1.com/en/news/2026/barcelona-grand-prix-day-3

The reason for Hulkenberg's DNF was because Lawson went wide in Turn 12 and kicked up gravel that hit the emergency kill switch, shutting the car down completely. Yes, you read that right

    The only way my opponent could beat me is by kicking up gravel to hit my car killswitch.
