Formula 1: German driver Nico Hülkenberg continues to replace Corona-infected Sergio Perez

Update from August 7th, 10:50 am: Second chance for Nico Hülkenberg ! As Racing Point announced on Friday morning, the 32-year-old will also replace the Mexican Sergio Perez in the fifth race of the season on Sunday at Silverstone .

This had tested positive for the coronavirus last week, after seven days of quarantine, the second test at Perez was also positive. This means that a start for the 30-year-old, who, according to the team, feels “physically healthy”, at the Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona (14 to 16 August) is questionable.

CONFIRMED: @hulkhulkenberg will drive for the team this weekend. Full story on racingpointf1.com #formulaone # formula1 # f1 #motorsport #racingpoint #bwt #bestwatertechnology #bottlefreezone #britishgp

A post shared by BWT Racing Point F1 Team (@ racingpointf1) on Aug 7, 2020 at 12:54 PM PDT

Hülkenberg jumped in at Racing Point at short notice on the last race weekend, which also took place in Silverstone . The race took place without him anyway, shortly before the start a damage in the gearbox slowed him down. But he has now “licked blood”, said Hülkenberg in an interview with RTL and ntv: “And I'm hot to get back in the car. No question at all."

Between the two races at Silverstone , the Emmerich man spent two days preparing intensively in the Racing Point simulator . The 177-time Grand Prix starter emphasized on Thursday that a second assignment in the search for a regular cockpit for the coming season would "of course" help him. Alfa Romeo and Haas , among others , have not yet committed to their pilots for 2021.

Meanwhile there is a stir about Sebastian Vettel: is his change finally fixed?

Formula 1: Silverstone in the live ticker - Mercedes with far-reaching driver decision

First report from August 6th, 6:10 p.m .: Silverstone - The Formula 1 circus is not traveling any further after the Grand Prix of Great Britain *, but instead is holding the fifth race of the season in Silverstone * . This time the winner of the 70th anniversary Grand Prix * is sought.

In the past few weeks, TV viewers saw a spectacular and memorable race. Lewis Hamilton took his fourth win of the season in a Mercedes , but the world champion * rolled over the finish line with only three tires because his left front tire had burst on the final lap. Team-mate Valtteri Bottas suffered the same fate, although he was unable to finish the race.

Nevertheless, there were positive things to report for the Finn on Thursday. Mercedes extended the contract with the 30-year-old "until at least the end of the 2021 season", as he says in the official announcement from the works team.

🚨 Breaking 🚨

Very happy and proud to let you know that I have signed and will be racing with @ MercedesAMGF1 next year 📝https: //t.co/WSixuAOdXa#VB77 # F1 #NeverGiveUp pic.twitter.com/jpNmgYaY0M

- Valtteri Bottas (@ValtteriBottas) August 6, 2020

"Ever since I fell in love with Formula 1 as a child, it was my dream to one day become world champion," said  Bottas : "This year I'm driving for the title, and by staying with Mercedes I'm also in the next Year in the best possible position to fight for it. "

He's STAYING! 👊 @ValtteriBottas will race for the team next year! 🔥 pic.twitter.com/hsGv1WuWIX

In 2017 Bottas  followed  Nico Rosberg in the silver . Since then he has won eight races. In 2019 he became vice world champion for the first time, and this year he is second overall, but after four races he is already 30 points behind Hamilton.

"I am confident that we currently have the strongest driver pairing in Formula 1 , and the contract extension with Valtteri is an important first step in maintaining this strength in the future," said Mercedes Motorsport Director Toto Wolff: "Valtteri is taking care of the entire team good relationship - including his teammate, which is not a matter of course when both drivers fight against each other for the world championship. "

So while things are going splendidly again at Mercedes this year, competitor Ferrari * is struggling with considerable problems. Sebastian Vettel * , who actually wanted to go on a nice and conciliatory farewell tour in the red speedster, has not been given a competitive car for weeks. His mood suffers as a result - understandably.

Live ticker in Formula 1: will Vettel and Ferrari achieve the turnaround?

The low point of the crash of the ex-world champion was the race last weekend, where Vettel was only tenth. Then there was a scandal when Vettel initially ignored a radio message from Ferrari team boss Mattia Binotti * and only answered when the crew asked.

So the atmosphere at Scuderia is anything but great. It will therefore be interesting to see whether Ferrari will send two decent cars out on the track this weekend. (smk) * tz.de is part of the nationwide Ippen-Digital network
