Hulkenberg has started 193 F1 races – not including the 2013 Melbourne, 2015 Spa and 2020 Silverstone races he failed to start – with a best result of fourth.
He achieved that result three times for what was then called Force India and Sauber between 2012 and 2016, but had several other podium near misses.
These include his crash with Lewis Hamilton after leading much of the 2012 Brazilian Grand Prix and the slow second pitstop that meant he missed out on a likely third in the 2016 Monaco GP.
The driver with the next highest race total without an F1 podium is Adrian Sutil, with 128 starts.
When asked if he ever felt frustrated at his lack of F1 silverware even when considering he has never driven for a top-line team in the championship, Hulkenberg replied: "That's stating a fact there.
"Obviously, when you start thinking about it that's a little bit frustrating. Because every racing driver back then and even now wants to win, ideally. But at the same time, I've never had the car.
"I've had good cars and also had opportunities to deliver the podium, but then for various reasons it never really happened. Never clicked and happened.
"But, to be honest, I'm still in a good, happy place – enjoying myself. And if I reflect back, of course there were things I could've done better.
"But I'm not bitter or frustrated about it. I'm in a good place and going to hit I think 200 grands prix later in the season – somewhere around Mexico [in October].
"And whilst not having the podium, I think if I would be so bad I would've not managed to stick around [for] 200 grands prix – so, there must be some good in there too somewhere."
