Nico Hulkenberg still unsure about his future

Hulkenberg is still unsure about his F1 future.

The situation is due to Williams’ driver dilemma; the British team is happy with Hulkenberg and Rubens Barrichello but short of sponsors and courting the significant PDVSA backing brought by Maldonado.

Barrichello and Hulkenberg, naturally, are hoping to stay put.

"He (Hulkenberg) deserves to be in formula one. Some people do not, but he does. He is a great talent," Barrichello told Globo.

Williams’ third shareholder Toto Wolff clearly wants the team to keep Hulkenberg for 2011, describing him as "the best young driver" in F1 today.

But he admitted to motorline.cc: "Everything is open, yes."

So even with his magnificent Interlagos pole in his pocket, Hulkenberg said his future on the F1 grid is still very much clouded.

"You will have to ask Frank Williams and Patrick Head," he told Auto Motor und Sport when asked about 2011.

"I think I did everything right this weekend and that talent should come before money. I understand the financial side.

"I think Rubens and I are the perfect driver combination. I hope we can continue to be together," added Hulkenberg.
