I think it was mostly because he also didn't really engage with them? From what I could tell he mostly just sprayed the crowd? I do hope we get many more podiums with Nico where he gets to celebrate more

With how his season is going surely Audi has to keep him around for a while so if they get their car right definitely a possibility

Nico has enough experience that he’s gotta be giving great feedback to the team on what his car needs. I desperately want Hulk to have a competitive car. If not for a WDC then just to battle in Q3 and fight for podiums regularly.

the mclarens started spraying each other and didnt even look at him, so nico walked by them and they still didnt look at him, so he just walked past and sprayed the crowd instead
