Nico Hulkenberg has taken up the prospect of being a German driver at the sport's next German factory team, and he cannot wait for it.
Nico Hulkenberg will leave Haas to join Sauber in 2025, which will then become Audi the following year.
Hulkenberg will depart Haas at the end of the season in another key piece of the F1 2024 driver market puzzle falling into place, with the German returning to the Hinwil-based team for a second spell on a multi-year contract, through its transition to Audi.Having impressed the entire paddock since his full-time return to the grid with Haas after a three-year stint largely on the sidelines, Hulkenberg has been snapped up to be one of Audi’s first representatives when they join the grid from 2026.
“I’m returning to the team I worked with back in 2013 and have fond memories of the strong team spirit in Switzerland,” Hulkenberg said of his return to the Hinwil-based team, which will morph into Audi in 2026. Sauber CEO Andreas Seidl, who is leading the team’s transition into the Audi project, added: “We are very pleased to welcome Nico back here in Hinwil from 2025 and to compete with him in Formula 1.
