Nico Hulkenberg says he would be happy to 'return the favour' to Haas Formula 1 team-mate Kevin Magnussen, whose stout Jeddah defence allowed him to score a point.

Hulkenberg was one of several cars to stay out under an early safety car in the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, a strategy which backfired for McLaren's Lando Norris and Mercedes man Lewis Hamilton as a necessary second safety car never materialised. Hulkenberg also needed to make a green flag pitstop, which would have normally dropped him out of points contention.

'I was told that he really helped my case by holding up the pack behind him, which obviously helped open up the window for me to take the point. 'A very good job from him on that side. And thank you, I'll return the favour later in the season.' Hulkenberg said he was unaware at the time that Magnussen was helping him, and was surprised at the gap he was able to open up to the cars behind. 'No, no, I didn't . I was told that the gap opened up, but I wasn't aware why.
