German F1 driver Nico Hulkenberg is currently serving as a reserve driver with the Aston Martin F1 team. Hulkenberg made his last F1 appearance in the 2020 Eifel GP. More recently, he opened up a new channel for professional connections on LinkedIn and Twitter went into a frenzy over this fresh development.

The German has been out of a permanent seat in F1 since he left Renault at the end of the 2019 season. Hulkenberg has appeared in around 180 Grand Prix in his stint in F1 between 2010-20. However, his chances of returning behind the F1 wheel look slim at this moment.

His career-best performance came during the 2018 season, where he finished 7th in the drivers’ standings, ranking “best among the rest”.

“Starting the new year with a new social media channel! Interested to see what‘s up on this platform and to share some thoughts about Formula 1, racing and the business side of motorsport. #happynewyear #linked #in,” read an update on his feed.

Unsurprisingly, Twitter users burst into funny reactions to this fresh development. Let’s look at some of these crispy Tweets.

Many users already sent connection requests to the German driver. He currently holds 56 connections on the platform, a number that is very likely to grow over time.

Apart from a bunch of hilarious reactions, many graciously invited him to the new platform. On a distinct note, rumors were making the rounds that Hulkenberg might fill in for Lewis Hamilton if the Briton bids the sport adieu. The speculations about the same remain and fans are still waiting on any further updates.
