There are probably a lot of things that keep Nico Hulkenberg running, but there's one thing Renault's new recruit will always speed up for: chocolate.

Hulkenberg posted a video to Twitter yesterday which appeared to be just another boring snippet of routine winter training. But the epilogue of the short flick reveals the target of his irrepressible urge.

We're not sure if this was milk or dark, with nuts or just plain, or how it fits in to the Hulk's lean and mean diet, but apparently Renault are stocking up on the delicacy.

The incentive plan calls for Nico to receive his full weight in chocolate, when he finally wins his first race!
