Weber angry with Williams

Nico Hulkenberg, champion of F3 Euro Series in 2008, GP2 Series in 2009 and driver Williams this season, should be able to bounce back Formula 1 next season? but places are starting to become rare! However, according to the German press, the young “Hulk” would be in contact, via his manager, with three teams: Lotus, Force India? and even Ferrari.

Still, Willi Weber, manager of the pilot, has still not digested Williams' decision. “ I have never been treated this way in the last twenty years, he said for Auto Motor und Sport. I would have preferred that they came to see me sooner, that they told me : "We need money and we can't afford to keep Nico anymore." Instead, they came to me at the last minute and I have very little time left to find a place elsewhere. »

Of the three teams cited by the German media, Force India seems the most interesting and credible track for Nico Hülkenberg. “ Force India is the most interesting team with places available », Confided Vijay Mallya, owner of the team. Indeed, if Tonio Liuzzi claimed to have a contract for 2011, the future of Adrian Sutil is still a question mark.

At Lotus, Jarno Trulli and Heikki Kovalainen are convinced to leave for a new season but the team remains at the center of all discussions. As for Ferrari, the Maranello team has two experienced drivers? Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa? and a talented test pilot, Jules Bianchi. “ Ferrari would be a dream but we are not there yet », Explained Willi Weber, who hopes that his driver can be reassured about his future in the coming weeks.
