In a surprising turn of events, German driver Nico Hülkenberg has made waves in the Formula 1 world by announcing his departure from Haas at the end of the current season. But that’s not all – Hülkenberg has set his sights on a new challenge, signing a contract with Sauber for the 2025 season.
After a three-year hiatus from being a full-time F1 driver, Hülkenberg made a triumphant return this year with Haas. However, it seems the allure of a different team was too strong to resist for the 36-year-old veteran.
The move to Sauber marks a significant reunion for Hülkenberg, who previously raced for the team back in 2013. But this time, there’s a twist – Sauber is on the brink of a new era as it transitions to become the Audi factory team.
With the German automaker’s impending entry into Formula 1, Hülkenberg sees this as a unique opportunity to be part of something special. Representing Audi’s factory team with a German engine is a point of pride for Hülkenberg, who expressed his excitement about the upcoming challenge.
As the Formula 1 grid continues to evolve, Hülkenberg’s move to Sauber-Audi adds another layer of anticipation and excitement for the 2025 season. Fans will eagerly await to see how the seasoned driver fares in his new environment and how Sauber performs under its new identity.
