Hulkenberg is in the frame to replace fellow German 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Mick Schumacher at Haas for F1 2023.

The current Aston Martin reserve driver hasn’t raced in F1 full-time since 2019 but has𝔉 remained part of the F1 fol🎶d.

He drove for Racing Point during 2020 when 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sergio Perez and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lance Stroll were forced to sit out due to coron🐓avirus, impressing during his brief outings.

Hu⛎lkenberg also got 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5最新开奖结果:Kevin Magnussen.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Haas owner Gene Haas hiꩵt out at Schumacher for the number of big shunts he’s had this year, stating “he’s wrecked a lot of cars that have cost us a lot of money❀ that we just don’t have”. 

Hulkenberg confirmed that talks remain🎀 ongoing with the American ꦗoutfit.

“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 bꦛe patient a little lo🦂nger.”

Another hint that Hulke𝕴nberg is joining Haas for next year is Aston Martin’s decision to sign a new reserve driver - former McLaren driver Stoffel Vandoorne.

Aston Martin announced the signing of Vando𝔉orne on Tuesday morning, with no mention of Hulke🍰nberg in their press release.

This news also leaves Mercedes without a reserve driver for next year, potentially opening the door for 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Daniel Ricciardo.
