Who will replace Nico Hulkenberg in 2025? Haas won't be short of potential options...
Nico Hulkenberg’s decision to join Sauber/Audi leaves a vacant spot alongside Kevin Magnussen at Haas for the F1 2025 season.
If they’re looking for as close to a like-for-like replacement for Hulkenberg as they can possibly get, Valtteri Bottas could emerge as a solid short-term option if he is let go by Sauber/Audi. Zhou has not developed in the way it was hoped since he became F1’s first-ever full-time Chinese driver in 2022, but with the sport now back racing in Shanghai the commercial benefits of keeping him around could be quite attractive to a team of Haas’s stature.With the arrival of Audi, Haas are poised to become the only Ferrari customer team on the grid in 2026 – a potentially significant development for making the team more attractive to ambitious drivers.
Step forward Pierre Gasly who, with his career going nowhere at Alpine, might take one step back with the aim of taking two forward.Oddly, despite his relatively low profile and being outclassed by Gasly in 2023, Esteban Ocon has been linked more heavily with Audi than his Alpine team-mate.Daniel Ricciardo memorably decided against a move to Haas after leaving McLaren in 2022, preferring to spend that start of 2023 on the sidelines rather than grace one of F1’s smaller teams with his presence.
