Nico Hulkenberg’s practice session at the Canadian Grand Prix was cut short due to an engine failure in his Haas VF-23, forcing the team to replace his internal combustion unit ahead of Saturday’s sessions.
During FP2, Hulkenberg’s car came to a halt with smoke emanating from the engine, bringing an abrupt end to his running. The setback came after a disrupted FP1 session, which was red-flagged due to a CCTV issue shortly after its start. As a result, Hulkenberg finds himself with limited valuable track time heading into the crucial stages of the weekend.
