Hulkenberg's departure creates a vacancy at Force India, which is expected to be filled by either Pascal Wehrlein or Esteban Ocon – both of whom are currently Manor drivers and are sponsored by Mercedes power unit supplier. Hulkenberg's presence adds more pressure to current Renault drivers Kevin Magnussen and Jolyon Palmer, who are both seeking to return for a second season in 2017.
Among these, the first two provide the most options. Daniil Kvyat values his experience despite his youth, a circumstance worth considering in a season 2017 in which adaptability to rule changes will be critical. El ruso, who has endured a difficult year in which he transitioned from being Red Bull's primary driver to sharing a team with Carlos Sainz at Toro Rosso, where he is routinely beaten by the Spaniard, faces a difficult road ahead in the energy sector, where he will be barrajando the possibility of betting on Pierre Gasly as Sainz's teammate. Nonetheless, he may choose to maintain a close proximity to Kvyat, necessitating a negotiation for his exit.
The German rookie claimed he was taken aback by his team's decision to dismiss him after his unexpected pole position at the Brazilian Grand Prix.
"Naturally. Williams has not tasted pole position in Brazil in years, but one lap does not alter the course of history "'He said.
"I am unable to comment on the state of his company. I just know that he (Mallya) is still determined and will undoubtedly compete in more races "Hulkenberg was ninth in qualifying for Sunday's Australian Grand Prix. The Economic Times of India stated this week that Mallya increased his investment in Force India by $32 million via his personal investment firm Watson and the sponsorship of Kingfisher's beer and spirit division.
