Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost’s rivalry was at its peak when they raced alongside each other at McLaren between 1988-1989, crashing at Suzuka during the 1989 title decider.
When asked to provide a few words on his team-mate at the Thursday press conference in Hungary, Hulkenberg admitted a friendship has developed despite their previous rivalry.
“Yeah I enjoyed working with him these two years, it’s been definitely enjoyable and you know we get on really well after our little romance here like a couple of years ago, you know it was actually quite the turnaround of a relationship and kind of turned into a friendship,” Hulkenberg said.
“I think you know, we work well as a team, we’re kind of pushing in the same direction most of the time and yeah, it’s been nice and a pleasure and I wish him well and all the best for his future.”
