Nico Hülkenberg continues to flirt with the Red Bull cockpit.
On one broadcast he caused confusion with a statement.
Has he already signed?
Nico Hülkenberg
is considered a promising candidate for a
Formula 1 *
cockpit
at
Red Bull *
.
In a
talk show
on the Red Bull broadcaster
ServusTV
, he spoke about the rumors and the future.
One statement caused a great stir.
Salzburg -
Nico Hülkenberg
to
Red
Bull
- what is the situation now?
The fact that the German racing driver was a
guest
on Monday at
ServusTV
, the in-house broadcaster of Red Bull owner
Didi Mateschitz
, is of course particularly explosive in view of the rumors.
Sure, there was talk about the next season - and Hülkenberg himself made sure that many a German Formula 1 fan should have gasped for a moment.
Formula 1: Nico Hülkenberg to Red Bull?
Driver kidding spectators
Over the past few weeks, Hülkenberg has repeatedly been seen as a possible new team-mate of
Max Verstappen
at Red Bull
and makes no secret of the fact that he would not be averse to the cockpit of the top team.
It is logical that the Emmericher does not refuse an invitation to the Red Bull broadcaster.
Moderator
Andreas Gröbl
didn't talk around the
bush
for long - and asked the German right at the beginning: "Have you signed up now?" To everyone's amazement, Hülkenberg replied: "Yes, I did!"

Anyone who knows the 33-year-old already smelled a fuse with his grin.
Shortly afterwards he resolved the gag: "I've signed a new building society contract," he said mischievously.
The ex-Renault * pilot then spoke without jokes about his current situation.
“Otherwise there is nothing to report.
It's very, very quiet right now.
I think it will be a while before there is any real clarity, ”reveals“ Hulk ”.
Formula 1: Nico Hülkenberg hot candidate at Red Bull - he has two competitors
For Red Bull, Hülkenberg is a real option.
Alexander Albon
is far from Verstappen from race to race this season.
“I'm pretty relaxed about that.
It's out of my hand, the cards are dealt.
I hope, of course, that there will be another comeback and a chance.
Where I would of course be very hot.
But we just need a bit of patience until the final decision is made, ”explains Hülkenberg.
The Mexican
Sergio Perez
is the third possible candidate for the cockpit.
While Verstappen was already promoting the German (“It personally fits well”), the decision rests with those responsible around
Helmut Marko
and
Christian Horner
.
Hülkenberg only remains one thing: wait and see and keep fit.
