F1 | Racing Point, Hulkenberg prepares for Barcelona while waiting for Perez's swab

Nico Hulkenberg returned to racing last Sunday with Racing Point after eight months of inactivity and retiring even before starting the British Grand Prix. The German, who impressively qualified in third position on Saturday, finished in seventh due to an additional pit stop at the end, otherwise he would have easily finished in fifth position. After the race, the former Renault driver has already drawn up his program for this week, also in view of a call to arms for the Spanish Grand Prix. Everything will obviously depend on whether Sergio Perez tests positive for Coronavirus or not. According to Racing Point, 99% of the Mexican will be available, but due to not knowing how to read or write, Hulkenberg will train on the simulator at Silverstone for these days and will leave for Montmelò between Wednesday and Thursday.

“I will prepare for Barcelona on the simulator and then fly to Spain on Wednesday or Thursday – Hulkenberg said to RTL. I await good news, or the end of this adventure. At Silverstone there wasn't the happy ending as everyone hoped, but perhaps we were pretentious given how strong Mercedes and Red Bull are, but it went well."
