Why Ferrari would be mad not to take Hulkenberg
With Nico Hulkenberg's 2020 Formula 1 options narrowing further, it's time the big player that snubbed him for Kimi Raikkonen back in 2014 took another look - because there's plenty of use for Hulkenberg in the Ferrari F1 family in both the short and long term
Nico Hulkenberg's options to remain in Formula 1 next season are limited. If he is forced out, it would be a premature end to his grand prix career, although cruelly fitting for one that has always promised more than it has delivered.
His former Renault team-mate Carlos Sainz Jr put Hulkenberg's prospect of finding a seat in simple but strong terms: "If it was about speed and talent, he should be on the F1 grid until whenever he wants."
