"I can't really sit still with Daniel Ricciardo next to me"

Esteban Ocon will replace Nico Hulkenberg at Renault next season, forcing the German to look to another team if he is to stay in Formula 1. Nothing has been confirmed and Hulkenberg is starting to get annoyed with all the speculation. 

"There is nothing to speculate about it!" Hulkenberg said to Paddock Pass. "I am now talking to you and if I am not with you I am talking to Renault about the race, but nothing more."

Hulkenberg needs to continue impressing if he is to catch the eye of other teams and this means performing well against his teammate, Daniel Ricciardo. 

"I just still have to race for my results and I am more motivated. I want to show that I am a good driver and I will have to. I can't really sit still with Ricciardo next to me."

The current Renault driver will hope for a strong result here at the Italian Grand Prix and will be hoping to prove his worth and earn a place in Formula 1 for 2020.
