Nico Hulkenberg admits he may need to hit the gym before launching a race career in Indycar. But he has now appeared at the Barber road course circuit in Alabama for a test with McLaren’s Indycar team. Hulkenberg said: “It was a good and successful day for me. I probably need to go the gym more often,” he smiled, presumably referring to the lack of power steering. “In the morning I needed some time to feel comfortable in the car, but in the afternoon the laptimes and my performance got better.”. It is reported that McLaren wants to add a full-time third car to the Indycar category in 2023, but could offer drivers like Hulkenberg some one-off outings next year.
