Nico Hulkenberg

[Bram Hengeveld]

Is Nico good enough for a top team now?

in my opinion he was always good enough for a top team.

 

[Andrew Ford]

the only negative i can see is that he seems almost too nice and too laid back. perhaps this is a poor observation, i don't know. he doesn't seem as typically german as a schumacher or vettel. however, his talent is unquestionable. he outclassed di resta who i just see as an intelligent "worker". he was winning in brazil and today, witha car which has been "pants"...great stuff.

I don't think this is his attitude on track. The way I saw him fighting with other was pretty hard and good.
I don't think it is a question of if he will be in a top team next year but rather where? Ferrari or Lotus?

Where-ever Kimi doesn't end up, Hulkenberg will land.
Lets also not forget that Alonso's not 100% certain to stay at Ferrari, so we could see a Raikkonen/Hulkenberg line-up at Ferrari next year.

If Alonso doesn't drive for Ferrari next year, I'll eat my hat (although I am not wearing any).

And I would eat my shredded Pirelli #1 Cap

i agree with whoever said, "wherever kimi leaves, hulkenburg will go. right no, it's looking like lotus renault.

i think Nico really needs to be signed up for Lotus, that's the only place he can go now.

Mercedes: same driver lineup
Kimi to Ferrari (Massa is out)
Lotus: 1 seat spare (Nico needs to be signed up with them, he deserves the seat)
Sauber: if Nico get's signed to Lotus then the seat will be avialable anyway for that Russain driver Sirotkin << if he get's his super license in time.

 

[Bradley Vanian]

It is pretty much confirmed Hulkenberg is moving (I presume to Lotus).

On the Sauber F1 Merchandise page, all of the Hulk retared items have halved in price.

Trying to steal a march on someone else's announcement!

 

[Sasha Jednak]

Is there any possibility of Nico going to Ferrari and Alonso to Lotus? Just asking, it wouldn't be bad in my opinion.

 

[Tony Holder]

Alonso to Lotus....hmmmmm, interesting with Massa?

 

[Sasha Jednak]

That was just thinking out loud before Ferrari announced Fernando-Kimi line-up. Hope that Hulk can get into better team next season.

 

[Tony Holder]

Anything is possible.

 

[Chris Jenkins]

So if Massa gets the Lotus seat as rumoured, where's left for Hulkenberg to go?
It'd be a shame if he's the victim in all of this.

 

[Terry Rock]

Nico is very good. Any smart team wanting a strong future driver line-up should hire him today.
Unfortunately, like everything else in the world today immediate results and money seem to be the determining factor....specifically sponsorship dollars.

 

[Tony Holder]

Ok, so the word is that Hulk is returning to Force India? Not Lotus? Or McLaren? Ferrari? Why is the question.... all these side steps will hinder his career won't it?

I know Force India showed improvement this year, but they are dropping off as not focussed in the 2013 car. I personally feel that this would be a bad move for him.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

He should really move up to a better team but it seems that most seats are taken at the top teams. Apart from Lotus there isn't much to choose from.

Is he too old for Torro Rosso?
