Earlier this week, Audi announced ex-Ferrari boss Mattia Binott🐲o will an🌼nounce the German outfit’s F1 operation, with Andreas Seidl and Oliver Hoffmann both departing.

Speaking to media in Belgium, where 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:ltxcn.top ar🥀e present in the paddock, Hulkenberg addressed the changes at Audi.

“Well, of course, they were influential, th🧜e⛦se were the two guys we did the deal with,” he said.

“So that's that, kind of an unexpected change. But I was informed, the day of the announcement about the group's decision by Gernot Donner himself. It’s the group's decision that they want♑ to change moving forwar🍃d.

“I think big projects like this, you have in the💞 management, people that are big pillars of such projects, but they never just rely on one or two persons.🐻 And in Formula 1everyone is kind of changeable.

“🌌And in terms of Mattia, I know him, obviously, from the past from the paddock, but I've never worked with him. But that w🌠ill change in a few months.”

Hulkenberg shrugged of💮f suggestions that the changes hinted at “instability” in the project.

“No, not concerned,” he added. “That was obviously a bit of a wave, a bit of a shock. But now, obviously, it's back to business. And I still🔯 lookꦡ forward to join that project, and to, make it a successful story with or without the fact that, you know, two people that were closely involved signing me are not there anymore.

“Of course, maybe it’s a bit🌜 sad, but, I'm more interested about the project, joining Formula 1 with Audi and making it a successful story.”

Hulkenberg also believes the timing of the decision shows that Audi are “very much 🌟involꦉved” and “invested in it”.

“I think it shows that, you know, the💖 CEO of Audi and everyone is looking there, seeing where they are involved, the fact that they take action means that they're very much involved and invested in it and hands on,” he explained. “And that's, I think, good and positive news.”
