F1 driver without a seat since 2019 to get chance to impress in Aston Martin test

Nico Hulkenberg will drive a Formula 1 car again this week as he takes part in a Pirelli tyre test at the Hungaroring.

While most of the rest of the paddock are already enjoying their summer break, Aston Martin have stayed in Budapest for two days of running. Lance Stroll will drive on Tuesday, with Hulkenberg getting behind the wheel on Wednesday in place of Sebastian Vettel.

The German has been without a permanent seat in the sport since 2019 when his Renault contract expired. Since then, appearances have come few and far between with his chances limited to whenever a driver at Aston Martin has not been able to race.
