Hulkenberg on difficult Spa weekend and looks ahead to Monza

Nico Hulkenberg may be without a seat for 2020 but the Renault driver is very much focused on securing more points for the team this season, as Formula 1 heads to Monza for the Italian Grand Prix.

Hulkenberg endured a weird week ahead of the Belgian Grand Prix, after weeks of rumours Esteban Ocon was confirmed to be replacing him next season at Renault leaving him searching for a seat. However, after a respectable qualifying, the German was able to score an eighth-place finish whilst his teammate Ricciardo was down in 14th. A sign that he is worthy of a seat next season.

With the Italian Grand Prix immediately upon us, Hulkenberg is looking forward to returning to a track with such heritage and scoring points at the end of the European season.

"Monza carries a lot of history and it's amongst the most special Grands Prix on the Formula 1 calendar. The fans create this wild atmosphere there and it's really cool to experience," Hulkenberg said in his Q & A preview.

"All our focus is on having a strong weekend to end the European part of the season with some solid points," he concluded.
