Unsettled Sauber driver Nico Hulkenberg says he feels ready to make the step up to a team such as Ferrari.
Having previously driven for Williams, Hulkenberg's decision to leave for Force India for Sauber at the end of 2012 has yet to bear fruit, with the German scoring just seven points in the first half of the season. But the move was also widely interpreted as being a tactical ploy to move him closer to Ferrari as the Scuderia currently supply Sauber's engines. If so, it's a gamble which may be poised to pay a significant dividend.
