Hulkenberg joins Aston Martin F1 as reserve driver
Aston Martin has appointed 2020 Formula 1 ‘super-sub’ Nico Hulkenberg as its reserve and development driver for the rest of the 2021 season. So, he drove for the team when it was Force India, stood in for both drivers last year as Racing Point, and is now the official reserve of the new identity of the team, Aston Martin.
Maybe Sebastian Vettel will give it all away and do a Jody Scheckter...... become an "organic farmer" in the near future.
(Jody Scheckter has owned a 'biodynamic farm' in the UK for close to 15 years now.)
Vettel kept a low profile through lockdown, and has now revealed that he completed an internship in organic farming to learn more about agriculture.
Vettel has previously spoken about his interest in nature and farming, and was unveiled as an ambassador for the BioBienenApfel initiative this week that looks to protect habitats for insects.
"Since I had more time than I had actually planned, I thought about what I could do and what interested me," Aston Martin driver Vettel explained, revealing that he moved to learn more practical farming skills.
"That's what interests me. At some point you realise that not every vegetable is the same, not every apple has the same nutrients, and then you ask why.
"Then you realise very quickly where the apple comes from and how it is grown - and that's how the doors opened for me.
"The theory interests me and I read about it a lot. But to learn more from the practical side and talk to the people who deal with it on a day-to-day basis, that was very interesting."
