Hulkenberg to sign for Sauber - report



Force India's German Formula One driver Nico Hulkenburg will drive for Sauber next season, it was reported in Berlin on Monday.

The 25-year-old - who started his F1 career with Williams in 2010 - has according to 'Auto, Motor und Sport' magazine already signed a contract with the Swiss team replacing McLaren-bound Sergio Perez.

However his agent Timo Gans would not confirm the news to SID, a subsidiary of AFP.

"I can neither confirm or deny the news," he said.

"The drivers contracts are normally announced by the teams themselves, so therefore I don't want to pre-empt any such announcement."

The news came the day after the South Korean Grand Prix where Hulkenberg finished sixth to leave him 12th in the drivers standings on 45 points.
