In 2026, Audi will make its debut in Formula 1 as a powertrain supplier for the Sauber team. Nico Hulkenberg, who recently extended his contract with Haas for next season, did not deny that he would be interested in joining the Ingolstadt-based company.
Nico Hulkenberg: “A new company is coming into Formula 1 and it is one of the most attractive projects at the moment. It is a German manufacturer and I know the team because I have worked successfully with them in the past. In theory, the project seems interesting.
Of course I have to work well, keep flying convincingly. Maybe then I’ll get the chance to join them. Time will tell.
I believe I still have a few years of Formula 1 career ahead of me, but I can’t predict the future and I don’t know what awaits me. In Formula 1 everything depends on the results, and if my results are not good enough, I lose my job.
Obviously, with age, reactions can slow down and reflexes deteriorate, but the example of Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton shows that despite their age, they are still fast, so anything is possible. All people are different, but if you have the talent and the will to work, you can continue to compete in Formula 1 for a long time to come.
