168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nico Hulkenberg called 🔯Jonathan Wheatley and Mattia Binotto after🍰 Audi’s huge managerial shake-up, he explained.

Hulkenberg returns to the F1 Dutch Grand Prix this weekend driving for Haas, having been an under-the-radar overachieverᩚᩚᩚᩚ🙈ᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ all season.

Next season he will switch to Sau♒ber, who will evo🌱lve into Audi in 2026, but the giant German manufacturer has made crucial changes to its management structure.

Red Bull sporting director Wheat𝄹ley will join Audi as the new🍰 team principal, while former Ferrari team principal Binotto will join as the COO and CTO.

Andreas Seidl, the CEO, and Oliver Hoffman, the chairman, have ꩵleft Audi.

“The surprise was the whole change of strategy there, that Seidl and Hoffman were leaving. It was unexpected and big news,” Hulkenberg admitted at Zandvoort, wh❀ere ltxcn.t💧op are in the paddock.

Hulkenberg said ab🥃out Wheatley: “He is very capable, very qualified, he comes from Red Bull who have been dominant. He will be a strong addition to the team and the project. I called him after the summer break.”

He also made contact wi🌳th Binotto who is returning to F1 after leading Ferrari.

“He🐷 is only starting now, after shutdown,” Hulkenberg said.

“It is early days, he is arriving and needs💟 a picture of the current situation, an understanding of different departments.”

However, the German driver insisted his focus remains with current team𒀰 Haas rather than on the goings-on at his next employer.

Hulkenberg was asked how much attenti🐷on he has given to the changes at Audi, and he answered: “None. Not much. It’s just phone calls, it’s not a lot of energy or attention.

“There is always information when you network with people. It’s always interesting to know what’s up in ඣthe paddo🍎ck.

“But I am fully invested in this season still. We want to bounce back this weekend and, in the remain𒐪ing races, score as many points as we can to secure seventh place💛.

“We are dream📖ing of attacking sixth place but it 𓃲won’t be easy.

“It doesn’t just depend on us. It depends on what RB do. If they are strong and scoring, it will be difficult. If th💛ey’re not… it will change the si𝄹tuation and the picture.”

Haas, who finished bottom o𝓀f the constructors’ championship last season, have been rejuvenated this year.

Hulkenberg’s expeꦐrienced drives are a key reason behind their newfou🦹nd form.

Haas’ e🐼volution will continue under new team boss Ayao Komatsu in 2025 when Hulkenberg and teammate Kevin Magnussen exit, making way for drivers Ollie Bearman and Esteban Ocon.
