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.

The 29-year-old Hulkenberg has joined from Force India, who punched above their weight last season to finish a best-ever fourth and comfortably ahead of ninth-placed Renault, and has no doubt he made the right career move.
