This move will be interesting for both drivers. DR really needs to blow Hulk out of the water to show he can be a world champion. If he is 'only' at Hulks level, then he's effectively taken himself out of the running for a top drive again. If he's below Hulks level then his career could end pretty quickly.
For Hulk, if he doesn't match DR then his career can be considered over. For years, Hulk has been called the next big thing but he's never seen a podium before. So that charade could either come apart in a big way or be proven completely true.
Someone is going to be very disappointed next year.
