About Nico Hülkenberg

Nico Hülkenberg is one of the most experienced and respected drivers in Formula 1 history. The German veteran has been a consistent presence on the grid for over a decade, known for his exceptional qualifying pace, technical intelligence, and ability to extract maximum performance from any car.

Hülkenberg was the perfect choice to lead Audi’s ambitious Formula 1 project from its inception. His experience across multiple teams and power unit philosophies, combined with his technical development expertise, makes him an invaluable asset as Audi builds its F1 programme from the ground up.
