Despite the fact that the battle for the second seat at Red Bull is not yet over, former F1 driver Marc Surer has expressed his preference for Nico Hulkenberg, in an interview with Formel1.de.
Surer explained that the German driver is "the ideal" choice for the team of Christian Horner and Helmut Marko. "There is precisely this ambition to prove something." “I hope for Hulkenberg that he gets the chance." The passion and drive that Hulkenberg brings may make him the perfect second driver, Surer argued.
"I hope that they take Hulkenberg. Hulkenberg actually has no other chance. The other places are all gone," he added.
