奥迪F1车手霍肯伯格表示，他与队友博托莱托之间“吓人”的事故是运气与判断的结合，这位德国车手在荷兰大奖赛中避免了一场灾难性事故。
由于赞德沃特赛道在赛前阵雨后仍然潮湿，但已干到可以使用光头胎，维斯塔潘在第一圈结束时于最后一个带坡度的弯角发生了严重撞车。作为反应，Bortoleto的赛车来了一个360度旋转，最终停在赛道中央。
由于对向车流不得不采取避让动作，Bortoleto的奥迪队友Hulkenberg千钧一发之际险险避开了撞上这位巴西车手赛车侧面的危险，从其左侧绕了过去。
“太吓人了，很惊险，”松了一口气的Hulkenberg说道。“整条赛道都很干燥，只有那个弯角保持得非常湿滑，让很多车手中了招。那里非常难对付，我不确定他会往哪个方向走，是会往上滚还是往下滚。我一直在等待、犹豫，直到最后一刻。我们没撞上彼此真是有很大一部分运气成分，但那真的太惊险了。
“在那个速度下，我几乎是看着一切以慢动作发生的。我们之间只差一张纸的宽度，但也就仅此而已。
在维修区控制墙上，车队的比赛总监Allan McNish同时观看两个车载画面时也吓得心都提到了嗓子眼。
“我和他们每一秒都同在，这也是为什么我有时候白头发冒得特别快，”这位三届勒芒24小时耐力赛冠军打趣道。
“Max在他前面撞了车，而在那个特定时刻，那是赛道上难度远远最高的一个弯角。不过只有在回放中，才非常明显地看出我们两辆车的距离有多近。
“当我最初看到Gabriel打转、然后Nico从另一边出来时，我并没有立刻意识到他冲进了烟雾里。所以，对我来说，那一刻真有点像《壮志凌云》（Days of Thunder）的情节，心脏有点受不了……”
Allan McNish，奥迪F1车队竞赛总监
作为一名前车手剖析这起事故时，McNish说：“当你前方发生状况时，有一个心理过程，但也有一种本能。本能地知道该往哪里去、该做什么。有些人具备这种能力，有些人则没有。
“在那之后，还有从本能到判断的过渡。你要避让到什么程度？往哪个方向？斜坡弯墙是另一回事，这也是为什么Gabi能够做到让车保持在赛道中间、没有侧滑撞上护墙，让我印象非常深刻。
“不知道那是本能，还是技术和专注力，或是其他什么。但那绝对是一次漂亮的救车！
Hulkenberg最终以第八名拿到四个积分，这标志着奥迪连续第四个比赛周末都有积分入账，而Bortoleto则远远落后，仅列第13位。

How Nico Hulkenberg avoided a massive shunt with Audi team-mate Gabriel Bortoleto
Nico Hulkenberg explains how he managed to avoid crashing into his spinning Audi team-mate Gabriel Bortoleto at the start of F1's Dutch Grand Prix
Audi Formula 1 driver Nico Hulkenberg says his "scary" incident with team-mate Gabriel Bortoleto was a combination of luck and judgement as the German avoided a disastrous accident in the Dutch Grand Prix.
With the Zandvoort circuit still damp from a pre-race shower but dry enough for slick tyres, Max Verstappen suffered a heavy crash at the end of lap one in the final, banked corner. In reaction Bortoleto went through a 360-degree spin as his car became stationary in the middle of the track.
As oncoming traffic had to take avoiding action, Bortoleto's Audi team-mate Hulkenberg was somehow narrowly able to avoid spearing into the side of the Brazilian's car, swerving around the left-hand side.
"It was scary, sketchy," a relieved Hulkenberg reported. "The whole track was very dry, just that corner stayed much wetter and caught people out. It was very tricky and I wasn't sure where he was going to go, if he was going to roll up or roll down. I was waiting, hesitating until the last moment. A good portion of luck not to hit each other there, but that was too close for comfort.
"I saw it happen almost in slow motion at that speed. A sheet of paper would have fit between us, but not much more."
From the pitwall, the team's racing director Allan McNish also had his heart in his mouth as he watched both onboards simultaneously.
"I live every second with them, which is why I'm turning grey very quickly at times," the three-time Le Mans 24 Hours winner quipped.
"Max shunted in front of him, and it was the trickiest corner on the circuit by a long way at that particular point. But it was only on the replay where it was quite evident how close it was between our two cars.
"When I first saw Gabriel spinning and then Nico coming out the other side of it, I didn't quite realise that he had gone into the smoke. So, it was a bit too much Days of Thunder for my heart..."
Allan McNish, Racing Director, Audi F1 Team
Dissecting the incident as a former racer, McNish said: "When something's happening ahead of you, there is a mental process, but there's also an instinct. It's instinctive knowing where to go and what to do. Some people have got it and some people don't.
"And then after that, there's an element of instinct to judgement. How far do you go? In which direction? A banking is a different thing, which is why I was very impressed with what Gabi was able to do to keep it in the middle of the circuit and for it not to spoon up into the wall.
"Whether it was instinct or skill and focus or anything else, I don't know. But it was a bloody good save!"
Hulkenberg went on to take four points in eighth, marking Audi's fourth consecutive points-scoring weekend, while Bortoleto finished a distant 13th.
