Nico Hulkenberg will replace Sebastian Vettel at the Bahrain Grand Prix. Although many people are sorry for Vettel that he tested positive for the corona virus, the return of 'The Hulk' is a source of great joy.
Vettel must skip Bahrain
Hulkenberg is a beloved person in Formula 1. The sympathetic German may never have reached the podium in the premier class of motorsport, but he is still very highly regarded by his former teammates, competitors and also the people around the track. The fact that he no longer has a seat in Formula 1 is therefore considered a shame by many.
That sentiment is reflected in the reactions after Aston Martin's announcement. Although it is of course a shame for Vettel that he can't compete, many people would like to see Hulkenberg participate in a race again. Read below the reactions after the announcement of his return.
Praise for Hulkenberg
