Max Verstappen wants Nico Hülkenberg back to Formula 1. Hülkenberg was a regular driver on the grid between 2012 and 2019. However, since 2020 he has been without a seat after Renault pushed him aside for Esteban Ocon.
According to Max Verstappen, it's a great loss. The two got along well.
The Dutchman tells Sky Deutschland:
"Nico still belongs to the paddock, here we have a lot of drivers who I think are slower than him. He's a great guy."
Hülkenberg is best known as the driver who did not make it to the podium. In 177 Grand Prix starts his best result was fourth, which he managed to do three times.
