LONDON (Reuters) - Formula One's 'other German Nico' is now the only one racing this season, following the sudden retirement of world champion Nico Rosberg, and Nico Hulkenberg is fired up for a new start with Renault. "I'm not a new Nico, (I'm) the same but definitely very motivated and keen and eager." "Being in a new team, it always takes some time to acclimatise but so far I feel already pretty integrated, I have to say. Renault Sport F1 managing director Cyril Abiteboul made the team's expectations clear, saying: "You can see that he will be a leader of this team. Not just of the race team, between himself and Jo, but he will be a leader for everyone and a clear ambassador for Renault.
