Nico Hulkenberg has been announced by Aston Martin as the team’s reserve and development driver for the 2021 season. ‘First of all, it’s great to get this deal signed up with plenty of notice – last year, I didn’t have quite as much time to prepare before jumping in the car,’ he told the team’s website. ‘I’m really pleased to once again work with this team – with whom I have driven many times during my career. ‘Obviously, I’m hoping that Sebastian (Vettel) and Lance enjoy uninterrupted seasons this year, but the team knows it can rely on me to step in and do an excellent job, and I’m fully prepared to take on that challenge.’.
