did you go with Hulk or Hill??

Jimnybillybob

i went with hill. except hulk is also a possibility.

seanod111

with adj. incredible and as current driver HULK seems far better than HILL

dxhound2005

Hulkenberg's nickname is The Hulk and in some headlines like the link below he is referred to as the Incredible Hulk. I can't see any reason to connect Hill and incredible.
