Nico Hulkenberg must attend F1 stewards at the Dutch Grand Prix for driving his car after sustaining damage in a minor crash. 

In wet conditions at Zandvoort, Hulkenberg locked up and slid into the barrier at Turn 11, breaking his front wing, with it becoming lodged underneath the car as he returned to the pits under his own power. 

However, the stewards noted him for potentially driving his car in a dangerous condition and breaching Article 26.10 of the sporting regulations which state: "If a driver has serious mechanical difficulties, he must leave the track as soon as it is safe to do
so."

Hulkenberg has suffered braking issues throughout the weekend, and crashed out of FP2 after the car snapped from under him at Turn 1. 

He must attend the stewards at 13:00 local time, some 30 minutes after the session, which was heavily-disrupted by a fiery accident for Logan Sargeant.
