SILVERSTONE, England -- German driver Nico Hulkenberg will leave the Force India team at the end of the Formula One season to join French manufacturer Renault.After Force India announced earlier Friday that the 29-year-old Hulkenberg was going, Renault confirmed he will be arriving next season on a multi-year deal. Renault did not elaborate.In his stint with Renault, Michael Schumacher not only helped make Germany an F1 nation, he also sparked my enthusiasm and fire for racing, Hulkenberg said in a Renault statement.Either Dane Kevin Magnussen or British driver Jolyon Palmer -- Renaults current F1 pair -- will have to make way for Hulkenberg, who thanked Force India for not blocking his move.I am grateful that Force India has given me the chance to take up this new opportunity, he said. It has always been my dream to work for a manufacturer team. F1s new regulations (in 2017) will change the game, and give our team a good opportunity.There are four races left, and Hulkenberg sits in ninth place in the drivers standings, one place behind teammate Sergio Perez of Mexico.Force India, meanwhile, is vying with Williams for fourth in the constructors championship and has a 10-point lead. Both have Mercedes engines, while Renault provides its own.For the remaining races, I will give my best for Force India to reach fourth place, Hulkenberg said. This would be a great achievement for the whole Force India team, the biggest success in its history, and a great end to a fantastic time.Hulkenberg is in his second stint with Force India.Having spent five years with us, Nico has become a great friend and contributed a huge amount to the teams success, team principal Vijay Mallya said. Hes an outstanding driver, who has scored more points for this team than anybody else. While its true we will miss Nico, we respect his decision.Having first broken into F1 with Williams in 2010, Hulkenberg has 113 career races. His best finish was fourth place, which he has achieved three times.He also raced for Sauber.Force India has been linked with a move for 20-year-old French driver Esteban Ocon for next season.Ocon, a former Renault reserve driver, is racing for the Manor team.

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Packers sack leader Nick Perry could be done for the season after he sustained what coach Mike McCarthy called significant hand injury.Combine that with Clay Matthews lingering shoulder injury, and the Packers pass rush may be significantly impacted in a key NFC game Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks at Lambeau Field.Perry, who was injured in the first half of the game Sunday against the Houston Texans, tried to play in the second half with a large cast on his left hand but lasted only a couple of plays.A source said Perry had surgery on the hand.?McCarthy said Perry would be re-evaluated next week to see if he could return this season.I dont know the specifics of how long they think its going to be, but I know talking with Nick, he wants to go, McCarthy said Wednesday. So thats why were going to look at it Monday, and see where he is.It assures that Perry, the Packers first-round pick in 2012, will fail to play in all 16 games for the fifth time in as many NFL seasons. To this point, Perry had been off to his best start with a career-high eight sacks. Perry was playing on a one-year, $5 million contract after the Packers declined to pick up the fifth-year option his rookie deal.I feel terrible for Nick, McCarthy said. He was having a great season, clearly his best season. Hes had a setback. How we plan moving forward, frankly its the same thing we do each and every week.dddddddddddd Its based on the health of your team. Our job is to put players in position to be successful. We feel good about our plan, and plan on being successful Sunday.Matthews wont practice on Wednesday or Thursday in an effort to help him be more effective than he was in a 29-snap stint against the Texans. He failed to record a single tackle or quarterback hit. Matthews suffered a separated AC joint in his left shoulder on what he called a cheap-shot block by Philadelphia Eagles lineman Allen Barbre.He was extremely limited in the game, McCarthy said. Each week its going to get better. Thats the hope. As far as having a setback, it didnt help him playing in the game. But I think it speaks volumes about Clay in gutting it out and so forth. ... Well get to Saturday and kind of see where we are. But the goal is to try to get some strength back in the shoulder.Also, McCarthy said quarterback Aaron Rodgers will be limited in practice for the second straight week because of the hamstring injury he sustained against the Eagles.Aaron will be limited today and then well see where he is tomorrow, McCarthy said. Hell do probably very similar to what he did last week on Wednesday. ' ' '
