Nico Hulkenberg tips Ferrari for title

Nico Hulkenberg hails the fight at the top of Formula 1 this year.

Nico Hulkenberg has hailed the fight at the top of Formula 1 this year.

The German is impressing after switching to the renewed and improving French works team Renault for 2017, but he admitted that his eye has also been on the exciting fight for the title.

"Not for a long time have the top two teams been so close together," Hulkenberg told Germany's Sport1. "It's a very good battle for Formula 1.

"Mercedes has been consistently at the highest level for years, but I'm extremely impressed with Ferrari at the moment.

"They've built a super car and that's why I'm going to tip Ferrari.

"But both teams are in a position to win. Who will ultimately become world champion is impossible to predict."

The teams go into this weekend's Spanish Grand Prix with just one point between them.
