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 Japanese Grand Prix at the weekend.

Haas finished bottom of the constructors’ championship last year but, under Ayao Komatsu’s leadership as the new team principal, have enjoy⛎ed a fruitful start to the year largely thanks to Hulkenberg’s drives.

Now 36, and after ret🐼urning from a three-year hiatus to F1, Hulkenb💃erg is attracting interest from elsewhere.

German giants Audi, who run as Sauber until 2026, reportedly want him as a German driver t𓃲o front th🥃eir new project.

Sch🐭umacher was asked if Hulkenberg should stay at Haas next year, but he saiꦍd to : “No, certainly not.

“Haas is certa☂inly a great team and everything will get better there, but the structure doesn’t look to the future.

“Investments are pending but are not being ma🅰de because [team owner] Gene Haas has other ideas.

“It's a nice, small team for new🐭comers like Oliver Bearman."

Schumacher butted heads with Guenther Steiner, when he ✤was Ha🌼as’ 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 Steiner, who ins✤isted he no longer wanted rookies in his cars.

Steiner went from Mick Schumacher and Nikita Mazepin to 💎veteran duo Hulkenberg and Kevin Magnussen.

Hulkenbe⛄rg said after a bright start to the year: "I rate the leap we have made since the start of the sܫeason very positively and very well.

“We have a completely different sta✃rting point than last year.

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

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