Nico Hulkenberg: I wish them luck and all the best

Nico Hulkenberg: "I wish them luck and all the best"

Nico Hulkenberg has been forced to say goodbye to Formula 1, at least for the time being. He has been replaced at Renault by Esteban Ocon and is without a driving seat for 2020. He still hopes his old team performs well and thinks that the 2021 rule changes could completely shake up the sport. 

"Obviously, they still have a big challenge on their hands," Hulkenberg said to GPToday.net. "With 2021 in mind a lot of things change and with 2020 they want to progress and get up the grid.

"This year was not a setback, but not the year we wanted and needed. So they have that challenge on their hands to bounce back from that and do better next year.

"There is going to be an interesting challenge and time ahead for them but I wish them luck and all the best."

Hulkenberg will look back on his career with pride. He proved himself as a consistent performer but may be disappointed never to have been given a chance at one of the big teams.
