Hulkenberg will move to Sauber next year ahead of Audi's F1 entry in 2026
Nico Hulkenberg believes receiving a call from Audi CEO Gernot Doellner when making the switch from Haas to Sauber for next season 'shows respect' and underlines the German manufacturer's commitment to its Formula 1 project. Audi will take over the Hinwil-based outfit when joining the grid in 2026, with Hulkenberg recruited as the first confirmed driver for the team earlier this season as its preparations off track continue to take shape.
'Going to what will be Audi, what will be a German manufacturer, German driver, a lot of attention, a lot of expectation - it's not going to be an easy one. 'But my approach to my work and the definition isn't changing. I'm going to go there with everything I have and then try to contribute in and out of the car as much as I can. 'That's what I love doing and hopefully, collectively, we can make it a success.
