The German has lost a permanent seat in Formula 1 since leaving Renault at the end of the 2019 season. During his stint in Formula 1, Hülkenberg took part in around 180 Grand Prix between 2010-20. However, his chances of getting behind the F1 wheel look slim right now.
He achieved his best performance of his career in the 2018 season when he finished 7th in the drivers’ championship and was therefore classified as “best among the others”.
