Nico Hulkenberg will be💫 a major loss to Haas ༺next year, they have been warned.

Tꦐhe 37-year-old F1 veteran will join Sauber next year ahead of their 2026 evolution into Audi, pairing a🦄 German driver with Germany’s major manufacturer.

It has the potential to become the most exciting swiಞtch in the F1 journey for Hulkenberg, which started 14 years ago and has included 🔯some negative moments.

Journalist Sam Power of Australia’s Channel 10 told the F1 Nation podcast that Hulkenberg should be praised: “It’s because ওwe all somehow know he has a massive amount of talent, and we want to see it recognised.

“He’s done the hard yards. He’s gone🍬 out of the sport, he has deputised, found his way back in 𝕴magically, he has survived and done it in incredible fashion.

“We knew the talenꦗt was there, it just needed the right set of circumstances.”

Hulkenberg’s F1 career a♊ppeꦿared to be over when he left Renault in 2019.

But at Haas - despite them finishing bottဣom of the constructors’ cha👍mpionship last year - he has demonstrated his expertise.

🌄In Singapore at the most recent gꦚrand prix, Hulkenberg scored points for the sixth time this season.

“This was the type of performance which will remind ♕Ayao Komatsu about why he was so irritated to lose Nico for next year,” Lawrence Barretto commented in Sin🎉gapore.

“There was a delay in🅠 talking to Nico to sort it out, then Audi came in. I’m not saying it would have changed his mind.

“The Nico in this spec, s♒ince he came back to the sport, everybody at Haas knows that every time he goes on track he will get the best out of the package.

“💮That’s all that any engineer wants. That’s why it’s such a hole that he will leave behind.

“He dropped ba♛ck a few spots from wh✃ere he started but he got the best out of the package. He defended from a Red Bull.  He did a phenomenal job.

“We’ve got all these rookies coming through but he’s one of the veteran�🦋�s who deserve to be here.”
