Nico Hulkenberg starts the grand prix from the pitlane but will fancy his chances of moving forward in potentially mixed conditions
"I think Fernando wanted to play with my turbulence," Hulkenberg said, as per SoyMotor. "He pushed me aggressively in Turn 2…but karma hit him back.
“The car was difficult to drive, I even had a scare in turn 15, where I entered the gravel and damaged the bottom of the car, which made me lose even more time.”
Alonso will be inside the top 10 for the grand prix on Sunday while Hulkenberg starts from the pitlane for Haas.
'The Hulk's' team-mate Kevin Magnussen will start closer to the rear than expected as a result of a grid penalty.
