Not much was expected of Nico Hulkenberg at the British Grand Prix after the Sauber driver could only muster 19th place in qualifying. 

Fast forward 52 laps of chaotic wet-weather racing and the 37-year-old came through the field, aided by a perfectly executed Sauber strategy, to achieve his very first F1 podium on his 239th attempt.

Hulkenberg's sensational third place at the British Grand Prix on Sunday - which set a new record for the longest time before finishing on the podium at 5,593 days - has been 15 years in the making.
