Nico Hulkenberg’s F1 career almost took a very different turn for the 2021 season.
Nico Hulkenberg expressed his feelings about the missed opportunity to join Max Verstappen at Red Bull for the 2021 F1 season.
Despite being a contender to replace Alex Albon, Red Bull ultimately chose Sergio Perez after Perez’s victory in the 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix.
Hulkenberg then spent two seasons as a reserve driver for Aston Martin while Perez raced alongside Verstappen.
Reflecting on the situation, Hulkenberg stated that he doesn’t dwell on missed opportunities and is content with his current position.
He will continue to partner Gabriel Bortoleto at Audi for their debut season in F1, embracing the new challenge ahead.
