Hulkenberg not interested in moving to McLaren

For two seasons now Nico Hulkenberg has been looking for a permanent seat in a competitive racing class. The German driver seems to have forgotten about a permanent seat in Formula 1, so he has been looking for a seat elsewhere for a while now. Recently he tested an IndyCar for McLaren.

Grateful for the opportunity

Still, a switch to McLaren in America will not happen, Hulkenberg tells us via his Twitter account. "A little update," he writes. "It was exciting to test an Indycar two weeks ago and I am grateful to McLaren for this opportunity. However, for personal reasons, I decided not to go ahead with it. Keep you posted on my future plans."

It's not entirely clear from what he said if Hulkenberg means that he's not interested in joining McLaren or if he's not interested in an IndyCar adventure at all. It is of course guessing, but not everyone has the ambition to move to America to race on the (dangerous) ovals. Last season Romain Grosjean decided to switch to IndyCar, but at first, he didn't want to race ovals. The Frenchman has already changed his decision.

Reserve driver in F1

The chance that Hulkenberg will get a new chance in Formula 1 seems impossible. At the moment the German is a reserve driver at Aston Martin and also for next season this seems to be the highest possible achievement in F1.
