Steiner: If you invite Hulkenberg, the audience will appreciate it

At one point, when Kevin Magnussen moved from Renault to Haas F1 and Nico Hulkenberg took his place in the French concern’s works team, an ambiguous relationship developed between the two drivers, even reaching a public “exchange of pleasantries” at times. For example, many people remember a very lively dialogue that took place between them during the 2017 Hungarian Grand Prix.

Of course, the verbal skirmish was the result of collisions on the track, after which Hulkenberg called the Dane the driver with the most unsportsmanlike behaviour.

But now that Niko, with his 181 grand prix experience, is considered one of the prime candidates for a place in Haas F1, it’s possible the two drivers could be partners, and everyone is sure to see how their partnership develops.

In an interview with RTL, Günther Steiner, head of the American team, was asked if there was a chance that they would sign Hulkenberg.

“A person like Niko has a wealth of experience to share. I think the fans will like it (if he comes to the team)! replied the Italian. – The question is: what can this or that rider give our team to make it better? And what risk are we willing to take for this? ..”

Rumor has it that Daniel Ricciardo, who will leave McLaren at the end of this year, is also claiming a place in Haas F1, so Steiner also commented on this version of event development: “In the situation Daniel finds himself in, he must first decide what he’s going to do it, there’s little point in persuading him to do something – he has to decide for himself.

Of course he will call you if he wants to. Otherwise, Daniel will probably say he’s going to miss the season, or something like that.
