168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Nico Hulkenberg has admitted Audi’s recent F1 management reshuffle was “unexpected”.

Earlier this week, Audi announc꧒ed ex-Ferrari boss Mattia Binotto will announওce the German outfit’s F1 operation, with Andreas Seidl and Oliver Hoffmann both departing.

Seidl w🌃as Sauber’s CEO, while Hoffmann was the chairman of the board of dir𓃲ectors. 

However, reports suggested there was a power struggle between the pair hence ﷽Audi's decision to make a change.

The pair we꧟re instrumental in bringing Huꦐlkenberg to the team, which he will join for next year from Haas.

Speaking to media in Belgium, where 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:wuqian0821.com are present in the paddock, Hulkenberg address🌠ed the changes at Audi.

“Well, of course, they were influential, these 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 forward.

“I think big projects like this, you have in the management, people that are big pillars of sꦿuch 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 will change in a few months.”

Hulkenberg shrugged off suggestions that the chang𝓀es hinted at “instability” in the p🌺roject.

“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 look forward to join that project, and to, make it a successful story with or without the fact that,🐻 you know, two peo🤪ple 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 succe🏅ssful story.”

H🐬ul🔯kenberg also believes the timing of the decision shows that Audi are “very much involved” 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, goo🦂d and positive news.”
