168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Nico Hulkenberg has been advised by 168澳洲5最新开奖结果: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 h💎as scored points twice, and narrowly failed to do so at the F1 Japanese Grand Prix at൩ the weekend.

Haas finished bottom of the constructors’ 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 Hulkenberg’s drives.

Now 36, and after returni𝔉ng 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 drive❀r to front their new p♐roject.

Schumacher was asked if Hulkenberg sh💦ould stay aღt Haas next year, but he said to : “No, certainly not.

“Haas i✅s certainly a great team and everything will get better there, but the structure doesꦇn’t look to the future.

“Investments are pending but are not being made because [team ow♈ner] Gene Haas has other i🦂deas.

“It's a♏ nice, small team for ne𝄹wcomers like Oliver Bearman."

Schumacher butted heads with Guenther Steiner, when he was Haas’ team principa🤪l, over the treatment of Mick Schumacher.

Mick was criticise💖d for the frequency of his 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 Schumacher an🍷ꦿd Nikita Mazepin to veteran duo Hulkenberg and Kevin Magnussen.

Hulken꧙berg said after a bright start to the year:&𝔉nbsp;"I rate the leap we have made since the start of the season very positively and very well.

“We have൩ a complet✱ely different starting point than last year.

“Last year in the race it was always a one-way st🍎re🏅et backwards, i.e. in the wrong direction.

"No✅w we've seen on four differeꦆnt routes that we can keep up. I'm happy and eager for more."
