Nico Hulkenberg has kicked off his new role as Aston Martin and Mercedes reserve in 2021 by getting a taste of the cars in the simulator. 33-year-old Hulkenberg revealed to Servus TV that he recently tried the 2021 Aston Martin and Mercedes cars “one day at a time” in the simulator. “It gives you a feeling for how the car can be driven,” the German said. “The Aston Martin is very different to drive than last year,” Hulkenberg added. Although working for Mercedes-powered Aston Martin and Mercedes, Hulkenberg will also be an expert pundit for Red Bull-owned Austrian F1 broadcaster Servus TV this year.
