Hulkenberg's First Reaction To Signing Deal With Sauber: 'Great Honour'

"I'm returning to the team I worked with back in 2013 and have fond memories of the strong team spirit in Switzerland."

"The prospect of competing for Audi is something very special. When a German manufacturer enters Formula 1 with such determination, it is a unique opportunity. To represent the factory team of such a car brand with a power unit made in Germany is a great honour for me."

"We are very pleased to welcome Nico back here in Hinwil from 2025 and to compete with him in Formula 1."

"With his speed, his experience and his commitment to teamwork, he will be an important part of the transformation of our team – and of Audi's F1 project."

"Right from the start, there was great mutual interest in building something long-term together. Nico is a strong personality, and his input, on a professional and personal level, will help us to make progress both in the development of the car and in building up the team."
