Who is joining F1 in 2023?

Nico Hulkenberg is expected to sign a contract to join Haas F1 Team in 2023, taking Mick Schumacher's place in the American squad. 

Guenther Steiner revealed ahead of the Brazilian GP that a driver announcement could be expected before the Abu Dhabi GP, though he refused to make any guarantees.

According to BILD, however, the Haas team principal has confirmed there will be official news this Wednesday.

Nico Hulkenberg has reportedly been chosen to join Haas in 2023. 

The Haas team principal has explained that a decision has been taken:

"We just have to clarify the details of how we're going to do what we're going to do."

Whilst this quote is far from confirmation, Steiner's refusal to confirm a relatively simple extension for Mick Schumacher speaks volumes. 

Nico Hulkenberg has completed several successful campaigns in F1's midfield throughout his career, showing good pace with the likes of Force India (2014-16) and Renault (2017-19).
