It's official...and very surprising. Nico Hulkenberg is on pole position for the 2010 Brazillian Grand Prix.

And this is not just a title contender making a mistake—Vettel, in the Red Bull car, was over one second behind the Hulk.

One second: That's like a year in qualifying.

He has not even secured a place on the team next season; there are rumours swirling around about him being replaced by someone else with more money.

However, I think the majority of fans will want the young German to be at the top level of motorsport next season.

If we look at his results at other levels, he dominated the German Formula BMW Championship in 2005—also the year Williams got their last pole position in Formula One—and he became the most successful driver in A1 Grand Prix history for Team Germany.

Following a season in German Formula Three where he finished fifth, he joined the Formula Three Euroseries in 2007 and finished third, and won the Masters of Formula Three event that year.

In 2008, he came first in the Formula Three Euroseries and second in the Masters of Formula Three event.

In the 2008-09 GP2 Asia series, he finished sixth with one win, before winning the 2009 GP2 Series, once again with ART Grand Prix.

This left him with a drive in Formula One for 2010. In the first two races of the season, he was worse than teammate Barrichello, finishing 14th in Bahrain and retiring in Australia, though this was because he was hit by Kamui Kobayashi.

Malaysia saw him score his first points in F1, finishing in 10th place. He then had a run of finishing outside the points for six races before finishing 10th once again in Great Britain.

As the team's results improved, Hulkenberg also benefited, with a sixth place finish in Hungary.

After the Belgian Grand Prix where he finished 14th, he reached seventh place in Italy and 10th place in Singapore.
