Paris: Nico Hulkenberg is leaving Force India at the end of the season to join Renault on a two year contract, the French Formula One outfit announced yesterday.
He will be replacing either Kevin Magnussen of Denmark or Briton Jolyon Palmer, with Force India now left looking for a driver alongside Sergio Perez.
The 29-year-old is following in the footsteps of another German, legendary former champion Michael Schumacher.
"Renault has always been a big player in the motorsport world that brings up incredible memories.
"In his stint with Renault, Michael Schumacher not only helped make Germany an F1 nation, he also sparked my enthusiasm and fire for racing.
"As a part of the Renault family, I want to develop the car and write new success stories," the German said.
