And surprisingly, it won't be Carlos Sainz. Several international bodies have "more than a suspicion" that Audi may have reached an agreement with Nico Hulkenberg.
The Germans are preparing hard behind the scenes for the 2026 entry, and they are not only busy building the infrastructure. They are also trying to lure specialists from rivals, and it is very important to get drivers who are both experienced, help in development, and even German-speaking. And competitive… Nico Hülkenberg fits all three options, so it is no wonder that Audi tried to “book” him. Although this is just a rumor and a verbal agreement, we probably won’t have to wait too long for an official announcement.
