Hulkenberg’s admission about future Audi F1 drive
Nico Hulkenberg returned to Formula 1 full-time this year with Haas and has already secured a new deal for 2024 due to his impressive performances. He is hopeful that he can position himself for a potential Audi seat when they enter F1 in 2026 after taking over the Alfa Romeo-Sauber team. Hulkenberg considers the prospect of driving for Audi to be very attractive, as it involves a new brand coming into F1 and the opportunity to work with a German manufacturer, which he has had success with in the past. Although he will be 38 when Audi joins F1, he believes that age is not a barrier in the sport, as demonstrated by Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso. Hulkenberg intends to continue racing for as long as he enjoys it and can secure contracts based on his performance. He believes that as long as there is passion, desire, talent, and the willingness to put in the work, a driver can have a long career in F1.
