F1: Hulkenberg to test Aston Martin F1 car Wednesday

Aston Martin Reserve Driver Nico Hulkenberg will drive the team’s F1 car this Wednesday for a 2023 Pirelli tire test at the Hungaroring.

Both Mercedes and Aston Martin will be in action Tuesday and Wednesday.

The final tire test of the 2023 tires will be held after the Italian GP at Monza. The test will have Red Bull as the sole participant.

Both Max Verstappen and Lando Norris have admitted that the tires are acting as a limiting factor when it comes to following other cars. Imola in April was the first time that wet weather tires were used and, according to the drivers, there were issues with getting them up to temperature in the cold conditions.

Many of these shortcomings were put down to the lack of data for Pirelli with these tires, but the extensive testing schedule should help with a better product in the future.
