After both Carlos Sainz Jr. and Sergio Perez not joining Renault F1 for next season, the next possible target is 29-year-old Nico Hülkenberg. The talks between the French/British formation and the Germany driver have been confirmed by team principal Vasseur.

Hülkenberg, who was confirmed for a Force India seat in 2017 earlier this year, might have the opportunity to get released from this contract. Rumors are going around that his team hasn't paid him his salary and therefor, he could be on his way to Renault, which would be his first works team in F1,

The German has been part of the F1 grid since 2010, as part of the Williams team back then. Being part of that formation for just one year, he than joined Force India as a test and reserve driver, being promoted to a race seat for 2012. He stayed with Force India one season, moving to Sauber for the 2013, only to return to Force India the year after. His best season has been 2014, finishing 9th in the driver championship with 96 points. His most impressive performance was during his first 24 hours of Le Mans, winning in the Porsche 919 Hybrid in a team with Nick Tandy and Earl Bamber.
