Nico Hulkenberg earned Williams' first pole position in more than five years at the Brazilian Grand Prix this month
Young German driver Nico Hulkenberg is looking for a new Formula One team after failing to agree a contract extension with Williams, the motorsport's official website reported on Monday. While the British-based team has retained veteran Brazilian Rubens Barrichello for 2011, the 23-year-old Hulkenberg will seek a new race seat following an impressive rookie season.
"I heavily regret that, because I would have been happy to stay with Williams," said Hulkenberg, who secured the team's first pole position since 2005 in Brazil this month.
"I want to thank the team for a great time and I wish Williams all the best for the future."
His agent Willi Weber, who also represents seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher, said the 2009 GP2 Series winner would remain in motorsport's elite class next year.
"Nico will have his seat in F1 in 2011," Weber told the official website.
