Mini bio
How it started.
Nico grew up in Emmerich, Germany, and started karting at nine. German karting titles led into single-seaters: he won Formula BMW in 2005, helped Germany take the 2006–07 A1GP title, and won the Formula 3 Euro Series in 2008.
The breakthrough.
Five wins carried him to the 2009 GP2 championship and a Williams Formula 1 seat for 2010. In his rookie season, he took pole position at the Brazilian Grand Prix.
More than one kind of racing.
While racing in F1, Nico joined Porsche for Le Mans in 2015. Sharing the number 19 Porsche 919 Hybrid with Earl Bamber and Nick Tandy, he won the race on his first attempt.
The long road to the podium.
After driving for Force India, Sauber and Renault, Nico spent time as a reserve before returning full time with Haas in 2023. He joined Sauber for 2025 and finally reached an F1 podium at Silverstone. In 2026 he races alongside Gabriel Bortoleto as part of Audi’s factory team.
