Alfa Romeo reportedly wanted to sign Nico Hulkenberg for the 2024 F1 season but saw their approach rebuffed by Haas boss Guenther Steiner.
36-year-old Hulkenberg, who has already agreed a new deal to continue at Haas next year, recently admitted his interest in driving for Audi’s future F1 programme.
The Sauber team which Hulkenberg drove for a decade ago will become Audi’s works operation when it enters F1 in 2026. “It’s definitely one of the very attractive projects right now,” Hulkenberg told F1’s official Beyond The Grid podcast. “A new brand coming into Formula 1, very exciting, a German manufacturer as well, people that I’ve worked with and done really well before.
“Yeah, it all sounds really nice and good on paper. Obviously I need to put in the good work, keep driving convincing drives, to maybe have a shot there. But only time will tell.”
