Of course, there has been no official confirmation of this yet, as everyone is trying to keep the events going on in the background a secret for now, but according to Sport1, the announcement could arrive by the end of May. According to some reports, Hülkenberg already wanted to sign for Sauber this year, but Haas did not allow him to do so.
Hulkenberg is being offered a three-year deal
And if the news is to be believed, then Audi is really serious about signing Hülkenberg
a three-year agreement is offered to the German driver, who has been performing excellently so far this year, as he was able to score points three times in the first five races.
Hülkenberg’s compatriot, Nico Rosberg, also believes that the mentioned pair would fit well together: “Nico has a lot of experience,
fast and available on the market. The other top teams don’t value his performance at Haas that much, so they won’t sign him, so Audi needs to seize the opportunity. That would be ideal for both parties.”
As for the identity of the other driver, it has not been a surprise for a long time that Audi wants Carlos Sainz, but the Spaniard is said to be still hesitating, so he was given until mid-May to make his decision. Meanwhile, the ringleaders are also preparing for other scenarios and are also willing to talk to Alpine’s competitors.
How Sainz decides is still the music of the future, but in the person of Hülkenberg, it seems that Audi already has an important building block for its participation in F1 starting in 2026, if we can believe the various sources.
