Nico Hulkenberg will "continue to race" no matter what

Nico Hulkenberg is not yet sure where his future lies but knows that he wants to continue racing. The German racer is leaving Renault at the end of the season and hasn't confirmed where he will be racing next year. 

"I have not really thought about what I'll do if Formula 1 does not continue, although of course, this scenario is in the room. I think I would take some time to clarify what I want and find a new challenge," Hulkenberg said to speedweek.com. 

"I will certainly continue to sit in a race car in the future because that's my passion and that's what I love. But time will tell what the future holds for me. I have to be patient."

Hulkenberg is an incredibly talented driver but has never really had the right car to succeed in the sport. He will have much success in a different racing series but will also want to stay in Formula 1 if a seat becomes free.
