Out of work, for now, Nico Hulkenberg has denied being signed by a Formula E team for the 2020 season as the German has lost his Renault race seat, and moves to Alfa Romeo or Williams appear increasingly unlikely.
At Sochi, it is rumoured that the 32-year-old has been signed by the Formula E team Mahindra.
"No," Hulkenberg said when asked if it is true. "I didn't even negotiate anything with them. I really don't understand where these rumours come from."
When asked if there was any contact at all with Formula E teams, he answered: "Personally no. I heard that there was interest through friends and mutual acquaintances, but personally I haven't talked to anyone."
When asked what he will be doing in 2020, Hulkenberg answered: "I don't know yet myself. I think I will know more in the next two weeks, but at the moment nothing has been decided or confirmed."
It was believed that Hulkenberg's preferred option to stay in Formula 1 was Alfa Romeo, but the Ferrari-backed Antonio Giovinazzi looks set to be re-signed.
"Monza and Singapore were two good weekends for me, so I have to push in Sochi too and if I keep it up then the seat for next year will be confirmed," he said.
