Force India Driver Nico Hulkenberg Throws Cold Water On Talk Of Formula One Driver Strike

Force India F1 driver Nico Hülkenberg "has dismissed speculation that the drivers in F1 might go on strike over unpaid wages," according to CRASH. Hülkenberg "was one of a number of drivers that had problems last season," the others most notably being Kimi Räikkönen and Romain Grosjean. Ahead of this weekend's Chinese Grand Prix there have been reports that the Grand Prix Drivers' Association members "had all signed a document saying they will strike if any members are not paid." Asked if that is true, Hülkenberg said that "was definitely not the case." Hülkenberg: "We all need to stick our heads together to see what we can do and come up with a solution" (CRASH, 4/17).
