Nico Hulkenberg will once again don the green suit of Aston Martin for this weekends Suadi Arabian Grand Prix due to Sebastian Vettel still suffering the effects of the COVID 19 virus.
In what is a blow to the start of his season Sebastian will now have missed two races. We wish him a speedy recovery.
It was thought that Sebastian may have been fit and healthy in time but Nico Hulkenberg was flown out to Saudi Arabia late last night indicating that all was not going as expected in Vettel’s recovery.
Nico Hulkenberg has been the go to driver for teams looking to replace drivers due to the Coronavirus. In 2020 he replaced Sergio Perez for 2 races and Lance Stroll for 1 race, so is used be being called up last minute for these things.
Aston Martin will be looking to advance on their results of last week where Stroll finished 12th and Hulkenberg finished 17th, both outside the points.
