Nico Hulkenberg to PlanetF1: 'That's just how F1 is and, ultimately, the driver, when he's racing, he has to convince the team with performance. 'If that's not the case, the team is going to change.'
Nico Hulkenberg: Can’t feel bad for Mick Schumacher, it’s natural in F1New Haas signing Nico Hulkenberg has said he can’t feel sorry for Mick Schumacher losing his seat, as that’s the nature of the sport.
Hulkenberg’s welcome news is in stark contrast to Schumacher’s disappointment, but the 35-year-old says he can’t feel bad for his compatriot after being in the same position himself in the past. “That’s just how F1 is and, ultimately, the driver, when he’s racing, he has to convince the team with performance.
After spending three years essentially fully on the sidelines, he said he was happy to have had some time away from the cut and thrust of the sport after a decade on the grid.“But I have to say, obviously, 2019 I was out and I was happy that I had some distance and a breather from it. Hulkenberg revealed that it had been he who made initial contact with the Haas squad, reaching out to Guenther Steiner during the summer to enquire about the possibility of a seat.
