Hulkenberg would be a big step down for RBR I think as a lead driver. I think that's a real concern for them, they don't really have a driver ready to lead their team on the conveyer belt. Albon has been good... but Verstappen good? No. So they'd need to splash some cash, Hamilton if he leaves Mercedes only goes to one team, Ferrari.

As to Hulkenberg? I think his best option will be staying at Renault, but if RBR do offer him a seat them grab it with both hands and make the best of the opportunity. I like the Hulk, not sure he's one of the very best in the grid, but he's a good driver.
