168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Nico Hulkenberg calle💟d 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 overachiever all season.

Next season he will switch to Sauber, who will evolve into Audi in 2026, but the giant Ge♍rman manufacturer has made crucial changes to its management structure.

Red Bull sporting director Wheatley 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 left Audi.

“The surprise was the whole change of strategy there, that Seidl and Hoffman were leaving. It was unexpected and 𝄹big news,” Hulkenberg admitt🍰ed at Zandvoort, where wuqian0821.com are in the paddock.

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

He also made contact with Bi🐬notto who is 🅘returning to F1 after leading Ferrari.

“He is only starting now, after shutd𒅌ow🐼n,” Hulkenberg said.

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

However, the German driver insisted his focus remains with current team Haas r🐻ather than on the goings-on at his next employer.

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

“There is always information when you network with people. It’s always interesting to know what’s𝓰 up in the paddock.

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

“We are dream𒀰ing of attacking൲ sixth place but it won’t be easy.

“It doesn’t jไust depend on us. It depends on♓ what RB do. If they are strong and scoring, it will be difficult. If they’re not… it will change the situation and the picture.”

Haas, who finiওshed bottom of the constructors’ championship🍌 last season, have been rejuvenated this year.

Hulkenberg’s experienced drives are a key rea𝕴son behind their newfound form.

The 37-๊year-old has scored points on five occasions.

Haas’ evolution will continue under new team boss Ayao Komatsu in 2025 when Hulkenberg and teammate Kevin Magnussen exit, making way for drivers Ollie Bearman and Est🥂eban Ocon.
