This is how Marko reacted to Hulkenberg's joke about Red Bull contract
- GPblog.com
Nico Hulkenberg was present at an Austrian television show on Monday. The broadcast of course also discussed the future of the 33-year-old German. Hulkenberg joked that he had 'indeed already signed'.
Hulkenberg then quickly added that it was a loan contract that he recently signed. Helmut Marko can laugh about it: "That's typical German humour", according to the Red Bull advisor at Auto Bild.
The expectation is that Hulkenberg will have to wait a little while longer for the outcome of the Austrian race. It is well known that Red Bull is actually the only remaining option for the former driver of Racing Point and Renault. However, Marko's team still has several options.
Besides Hulkenberg, Sergio Perez and Alexander Albon also have a chance to become Max Verstappen's team mate in 2021. At the end of the weekend in Abu Dhabi, the last Grand Prix of the season, Red Bull will make the decision.
