Underrated and in-demand F1 star told to quit team who “don’t look to the future”
Audi ꦜinterest could t♐empt one veteran F1 driver to make a change

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nico Hulkenberg has been advised by 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Ralf Schumacher to leave Haas.
Hulkenberg has quietly put together a string of unexpectedly bright performances in the first four rounds of the F1 2024 season.
He has scored points t♉wice, and narrowly failed to do so at the F1 Japanese Grand Prix at the weekend.
Haas finished bottom of the constr🐠uctors’ championship last year but, under Ayao Komatsu’s leadership as the new team principal, have enjoyed a fruitful start to the year largely thanks to Hulkenbe൲rg’s drives.
Now 36, and after returning from a three-year hiatus to F1, Hulkenberg 🍷is attracting interest from elsewhere.
German giants Audi, who run ♎as Sauber until 2026, reportedly want him as a German driver to front their new project.
Schumacher was asked if Hulkenberg should stay at Haas next year,♑ but he said to : “No, certainly not.
“Haas is certainly a great team and ever🍸ything will get better there, but the structure doesn’t lo𒁃ok to the future.
“Investments are pending but are not being made because [team owner] Gene Haas has other id꧙eas.
“It'💃s a nice, small team for newcomers like Oliver Bearman."
Schumacher butted heads with G🎉uenther Steiner, when he was Haas’ team principal, over the treatment of Mick Schumacher.
Mick was criticised for the frequency of hi𒀰s crashes and was ultimately axed from his F1 drive by Steiner, who🦹 insisted he no longer wanted rookies in his cars.
Steiner went from Mick Sꦅchumacher and Nikita Mazepin to veteran duo Hulkenber🦂g and Kevin Magnussen.
Hulke𒉰nberg said after a bright start to the year: "I rate the leap we have made since the start of the season very positively and ver🦩y well.
“We have a complete🐟l꧙y different starting point than last year.
“Last year in the race it was always a one-way street backwards, i.e.🦋 in the wrong direction.
"Now we've seen on four different routes that we can keep ♚up.🍸 I'm happy and eager for more."
