Hulkenberg is in the frame to replace fellow German 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Mick Schumacher at Haas for F1 2023.

The current Aston Martin reserve driverღ hasn’t raced in F1 full-time since 2019 but has remained part of the F1 fold.

He drove for Racing Point during 2020 when 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lance Stroll were forced to 🐎sit out due to coronavirus, impressing during his brief outings.

Hulkenberg also g🅷ot a taste 🅰of 2022 machinery when he deputised for Sebastian Vettel at the opening two rounds of this year.

Despite Schumacher’s improved form since the Austrian Grand Prix, Hulkenberg seems to be the favourite to take the seat alongside 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Kevin Magnussen.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Haas owner Gene Haas hit out at Schu🎃macher for the number of big shunts he’s had this year, stating “he’s wrecked a lot of ꦓc🎃ars that have cost us a lot of money that we just don’t have”. 

Hulkenberg confirmed that talks remain❀ ongoing with the American outfit.

“At the end of the day, it’s not my decision. I’m not making it,” Hulkenberg told Austrian broadcaster ServusTV.

“There are still talks. I am relatively optimistic, but💫 we will have to be patient a little longer.”
