Former LeMans 24hr winner Nico Hulkenberg opened up on the prospects of retiring from the sport and feels that when he thinks he cannot perform at a good enough level and compete with some of the younger talent, he will call time on his career. The German has been a part of the sport for a long time as he made his debut in 2010 with Williams.
Since then, the German was more or less a constant presence in the sport until his contract with Renault ended in 2019 and he ended up not having a race seat until the 2023 F1 season with Haas. At his stint with the American team, Hulkenberg has completely rejuvenated his career with performances that have turned heads.
His consistency and results have helped the American team secure P7 in the championship, and the German is now getting ready for a new challenge with Sauber, a squad that would become Audi in 2026.
