Admittedly, he did have two cameo appearances in 2020 to replace Sergio Perez and Lance Stroll, respectively. Now, the 33-year-old is taking on a reserve driver role for Aston Martin and Mercedes.

While he bides his time, he is acting as a pundit for Servus TV. It is worth mentioning that after he spent time with Ruskyte, Hulkenberg had to rush back to France.

This was because he was still on call for commentary duty, but he was able to get some time off for the proposal in Venice. Now, the driver will be hoping to witness an exciting race at the Paul Ricard Circuit.
