In the paddock of the racetrack Marina Bay Circuit v Singapore, Yippee Gunther Steiner stated of his designation: "It wasn’t easy because Romain and Nico are very good racers for us. And I can only hope that Hülkenberg stays in Formula 1. I love him and he belongs in Formula 1. But in the end we decided on Romain because he went through ups and downs with us for four years and because he knows the team as his own pocket If we were to bet on a new racer now, then I don’t know how that would help us to have a better racer. It might be useful, but it might not be. The fact is, however, that the new racer should first find himself in a new midfield."

In Singapore, Steiner explained to reporters why he had decided against Hülkenberg, stressing that the talks did exist, but no formal offer was ever made.

"Romain played a big part in making us understand what was going wrong with this year’s race car. He was a great help to us here. We didn’t want more strangers because we have enough of them. This was the main reason he spoke against Hülkenberg. At Grosjean, however, we know exactly where we stand," so Steiner.

South Tyrol but still issues something surprising"I would like to clarify something else, namely that I am not sure if Nico would come to our team at all. We talked otherwise, but there was never a formal offer. So I also can’t say if I would accept it as well. But you have to ask him that question."
