Nico Hulkenberg on Thursday denied reports that Formula One drivers were threatening to go on strike over unpaid salaries, but he called for quick action to resolve the problem.

Germany's Sport Bild magazine claimed this week that several drivers for smaller teams, including Hulkenberg, who drove for Sauber last year, were still owed unpaid wages dating back to 2013. It reported the drivers' union had signed a document vowing to strike if the situation continued.

Hulkenberg, third in the drivers' standings with Force India after three races, was asked Thursday about a possible strike at the Chinese Grand Prix and said firmly, "No that is not true." He admitted, however, that unpaid wages were an issue for all the drivers.
