Nico Hulkenberg is relishing a “great opportunity” to show his calibre against new teammate Daniel Ricciardo, according to Renault chief Marcin Budkowski.
Budkowski says Hulkenberg has welcomed Ricciardo to the team and is excited to prove himself against an F1 race-winner at Renault.
“I think for Nico having Daniel coming in with his reputation as a very quick driver, a very good driver and a very good overtaker but also someone who has proved themselves as a race winner, I think he sees it as an opportunity to prove himself,” Budkowski said when asked by Crash.net about Hulkenberg’s reaction to Ricciardo joining.
