Nico Hulkenberg has confirmed he has no immediate plans to retire from Formula 1, even as Audi targets full competitiveness by 2030. The German driver expressed willingness to continue racing past the age of 40 amid the team's long-term project.
Nico Hulkenberg, currently driving for Haas but set to join Audi's Formula 1 effort, stated that he has no plans to retire anytime soon. This comes despite Audi's acknowledgment that achieving full competitiveness in the sport may not occur until the end of the decade, specifically aiming for 2030.
In comments reported by GMM, Hulkenberg emphasized his openness to extending his career beyond 40 to support Audi's ambitious entry into F1. The team, partnering with Sauber, is building towards a stronger presence, but the timeline suggests a patient build-up rather than instant success.
Hulkenberg's experience, including his role in the 2023 season, positions him as a key figure in Audi's strategy. No further details on his contract or specific racing plans were provided in the statements.
