Nico Hulkenberg’s days on the Formula 1 race grid appear to be over. Having lost his full-time race seat after 2019, and subsequently becoming an Aston Martin reserve, the 34-year-old had left the door open for a potential racing return in 2022. However, the last remaining seat on the grid for next year is at Alfa Romeo. “That would have been the last option for a firm seat in 2022 after all the other cockpits have been taken.”. As for the actual Alfa Romeo candidates for 2022, there appear to be a handful of them – with Nyck de Vries and Guanyu Zhou at the top of the list.
