Switzerland's Auto Motor und Sport reports that Force India is the likely landing place for Nico Hulkenberg, who has lost his ride with the Williams team for 2011 despite a highly regarded season. Force India's current drivers are both unsigned – Adrian Sutil is considering other options and Vitantonio Liuzzi's future is clouded despite his possession of a 2011 contract.

Hulkenberg "requires far less salary than Sutil, but he brings far less sponsor money," Auto Motor und Sport claims.
