5 reasons why Ricciardo's Renault move is good for F1

#2 An advantage for Nico Hulkenberg?

Hulkenberg has already welcomed Daniel's switch to Renault

One of the sorriest spectacles in the entirety of Formula 1 racing is spotting an extremely talented Hulkenberg competing without a podium finish against his name. Surely, it always seems, Hulkenberg is a better driver than the shambolic truth hovering against his name.

With Ricciardo joining the team for 2019, there's a great possibility that Hulk would be pushed to further up his game.

As it is, the German driver has gathered 52 points so far from 12 races in 2018, a visible improvement from 2017, where he could only manage 43 from 20 races.

What's more? Hulkenberg has been responsible for some really impressive drives this year, including a best-place finish of P5 at his home race at the German Grand Prix. Even teammate Carlos Sainz Jr. hasn't managed this position so far from 12 races.

So, the question is- can Nico go even better fostering a healthy competition with Ricciardo next year?
