Nico Hulkenberg has admitted to holding talks about joining Audi when they enter F1.
The Haas driver has become a prime target for Audi when they enter Formula 1 in 2026 with the new regulations. Hulkenberg, the only German driver on the current grid, was approached by the German automotive company. There were discussions between him and Andreas Seidl, the Sauber chief executive. Although talks were held, Hulkenberg eventually signed a new deal to stay at Haas. However, from 2026, when Audi officially joins F1, there is a possibility that they may still consider Hulkenberg as part of their stellar driver line-up.
