Nico Hülkenberg will be at the wheel for Aston Martin once again this weekend.
On Thursday, the team announced that Sebastian Vettel had yet to return a negative COVID-19 test in order to fly to Jeddah for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. Aston Martin said it would delay its final decision until Friday, and that the status of the four-time Formula One world champ remains unchanged.
But Aston Martin confirmed Friday that Vettel would miss the race, although it was unclear whether he had returned a negative COVID-19 test.
