HINWIL, Switzerland (AP) — Formula 1 driver Nico Hülkenberg is leaving Haas for Sauber at the end of the year, giving the team a German presence on the grid when it rebrands to Audi for 2026.
The 36-year-old Hülkenberg will depart Haas after two years, both teams said Friday. Despite the Haas car being largely uncompetitive, Hülkenberg outscored teammate Kevin Magnussen on points last season and is ahead of the Danish driver after five races this year.
German automaker Audi reached a deal for a full takeover of Switzerland-based Sauber last month and is planning to field a full works team from 2026. Hülkenberg will be “an important building block” in that process and closely involved with developing the 2026 car, Sauber said in a statement.
Hülkenberg brings experience from more than 200 races in F1 since 2010, though he holds the record of being the driver to start most races without ever finishing in the top three.
