Hülkenberg says he can 'definitely' drive in Formula 1 until he's 40
Hülkenberg says he can 'definitely' drive in Formula 1 until he's 40 German Formula 1 racing driver Nico Huelkenberg, then with Williams, walks through the paddock after the Bahrain Grand Prix. Nico Huelkenberg is the only German regular driver left in Formula 1 currently at Haas, but he will take a new path in his career from next year when he joins Kick Sauber, the Audi works team from 2026. Jens Büttner/dpa German driver Nico Hülkenberg can see himself driving in Formula one until the age of 40 and said he still has "a few races left in the tank." "I can definitely drive until I'm 40, so I don't see any problems for the next few years. What comes after that is difficult to estimate today," the Kick Sauber driver told dpa ahead of Sunday's Bahrain Grand Prix. Advertisement Hülkenberg will turn 38 in August. As role models, he can look at two-time world champion Fernando Alonso, who at 43 is currently racing for Aston Martin, or seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton, who at 40 is making his debut season for Ferrari. The German made his F1 debut in 2010 for Williams. This season he moved from Haas to Kick Sauber, which next year will become an Audi works team in 2026. "You can sense a very good and hungry atmosphere there (at the factory). People are keen on Formula 1, on this project, they are motivated and happy," he said. When asked what a feel-good atmosphere in a racing team must be like, Hülkenberg replied: "It's difficult to describe, in the end it boils down to a feeling. You either have a good feeling or you don't. You have to feel comfortable and happy, that's how I feel here."
