Nico Hülkenberg sits mainly at home after he has been put aside by Renault. He hasn't been able to get another seat before 2020. However, due to the corona crisis he doesn't have to miss anything of the action for the time being. And so he has time to think about which F1 driver he would prefer to be in lockdown with for example.

"Then I choose Dani, Daniil Kvyat," he says to Amanda Davies, CNN reporter. "I like him and he's a good cook, so he can take care of us." Hülkenberg adds that Kvyat is probably also the driver with whom he spends most of his time. For example, he regularly plays a game of tennis against the Russian.

After some hesitation Hülkenberg comes up with another possibility: "Maybe I should choose Kevin [Magnussen] after all. We can finally settle our quarrel." He is referring to the 2018 season, when the German and the Dane openly shouted at each other in front of the cameras. Something that was also widely measured in the first season of the Netflix series Drive to Survive.

When asked what their relationship is like right now, Nico says: "I don't think we really have a relationship. It's clear that we're not best friends. But we don't need to be, and it's also very rare to be good friends with another driver".
