Last week, Audi made its first move in F1’s turbulent driver market as it signed Hulkenberg to a multi-year contract that means he will leave the Haas squad at the end of the 2024 campaign.
The move, which had been in the works since midway through 2023 and involved discussions about Hulkenberg possibly joining Sauber for this season before he ended up continuing for a second year with Haas, reunites Hulkenberg with Seidl after they won the 2015 Le Mans 24 Hours together for Porsche.
