Nico Hulkenberg believes receiving a call from Audi CEO Gernot Doellner about management changes ahead of his move next season "shows respect" and underlines the German manufacturer's commitment to its Formula 1 project.
Audi will take over the Hinwil-based outfit when joining the grid in 2026, with Hulkenberg recruited as the first confirmed driver for the team earlier this season as its preparations off track continue to take shape.
