168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nico Hulkenberg has been advised by 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: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 has scored points twice, and narrowly failed to do so at the F1 J𝔍apanese Grand Prix at the weekဣend.

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 than🧸ks to Hulkenberg’s drives.

Now 36🦹, and after returning from a three-year hiatus to F1, Hulkenberg is attracting interest fro🎐m elsewhere.

German ꧃giants Audi, who run as Sauber until 2026, reportedly want him as a German driver to front their ne🗹w project.

Schumacher was a🍷sked if Hulkenberg should stay at Haas n🥀ext year, but he said to : “No, certainly not.

“Haas is certainly a great team and everything will get♐ better there, but the structur♔e doesn’t look to the future.

“Investments a༺re pending but are not being m🌳ade because [team owner] Gene Haas has other ideas.

“It's a nice, sﷺmall team for newcomers like Oliver Bearman."

Schumacher butted heads with Guenther Steiner, when he was Haas’ team principal, over the treatment෴ of Mick Schumacher.

Mick was criticised for the frequency of his crashes and was ultimately axed from his F1 drive by St🍰einer, who insisted he no longer wanted rookies in h🐽is cars.

Steiner went from Mic💞k Scꦚhumacher and Nikita Mazepin to veteran duo Hulkenberg and Kevin Magnussen.

Hulkenberg said after a bright start to the y💖ear: "I rate the leap we have made since the start of the season very positively♒ and very well.

“We have a complete♛ly different starting point than last yea🧸r.

“Last year in the race it was always a one-way street ไbackwards, i.e. in the wrong direction.

"Now we've seen on four different routes that we can keep up. I🌼'm happy and eager for more."
