The German is, according to the information of ‘Motorsport-Total.com’ favorite for the now vacant Cockpit with a Racing Point after Perez was tested on Thursday a positive effect on COVID-19 and not on racing is allowed to participate, because he was already in quarantine.
Hulkenberg knows Racing Point already: He drove in 2012 and again in 2014 to 2016, for the predecessor of team Force India, and scored some success, before he took up starting in 2017, and until 2019 for Renault. There he received for the season in mid-2019, the termination, and to the left, then the formula 1.
Because Hulkenberg is in possession of a valid formula 1 super license, is missing for his Comeback – except, of course, an agreement with Racing Point – only a current negative COVID-19-Test that would allow them to participate in the Grand Prix in Silverstone.
A decision on the replacement driver issue is yet, however, not fallen. And Racing Point has officially nominated no replacement driver. Theoretically, the Team has access to the two Mercedes-reservists Esteban Gutierrez and Stoffel Vandoorne, with Vandoorne will be riding in the near future the formula E Finale in Berlin for Mercedes best.
Who gets the contract, gets the Chance to (at least) two races in the RP20: Due to the British Coronavirus regulations must be followed by a positive Test for a mandatory quarantine of ten days. This is the second Silverstone race in the coming week includes.
