New images confirm rumor: Hulkenberg on the paddock for corona test

Nico Hulkenberg would have been spotted on the Formula 1 circuit and that can now be confirmed. On the video below it becomes clear that the German finds his way to the room to do a coronation test.

Hulkenberg on the paddock

Sergio Perez was positive on the coronavirus on Thursday and where first Esteban Guttierez and Stoffel Vandoorne seemed to be the big candidates to fill his place, the team chooses a completely different route. It soon became clear that Racing Point sees more in a return from Hulkenberg.

Rumours soon increased and the German was already seen by some on Friday morning. Now, however, there are also images of that. The driver is clearly visible, despite the mouth cap, and makes his way to a coron test. It is now waiting to see if this test is negative. That will determine whether the German is allowed to take action.
