Nico Hulkenberg has taken to social media to address a false claim made by a journalist.
Recently, Nico Hulkenberg utilized social media to debunk rumors suggesting he had signed a contract extension with Haas, prolonging his time with the team until 2025.
During the unveiling of the F1 Drive karting experience at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the subject of his future with the American team was brought up, considering his current contract’s expiration this year.
A journalist misinterpreted Hulkenberg’s statements during a press conference, incorrectly reporting his alleged contract extension until 2025 while insinuating uncertainty for his teammate Kevin Magnussen.
In response to the inaccurate report on social media, Hulkenberg clarified the situation, humorously stating, “Do not believe everything. Someone took a joke a bit too seriously,” accompanied by a winking emoji.
With Hulkenberg’s clarification, the focus remains on his status in the 2024 driver market.
Haas team principal Ayao Komatsu aims to address the team’s challenges with the VF-24, hoping to make Haas an appealing choice for drivers in 2025.
Komatsu acknowledges the team’s developmental hurdles, expressing enthusiasm for the future prospects, stating, “It is certainly an exciting time for us at Haas.”
Lewis Hamilton suffers a significant setback with Mercedes after signing a contract with Ferrari.
Komatsu faces imminent decisions regarding the team’s driver lineup.
With Hulkenberg and Magnussen both approaching the end of their contracts and Ferrari academy prospect Oliver Bearman intensifying his testing with Haas ahead of a Formula Two title bid, changes may be on the horizon for the team.
The impending choices indicate a potential change in direction for Haas as they navigate the fiercely competitive world of Formula One.
