168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nico Hulkenberg was involved in a weird incident on the opening morning of F1 pre-season testing in Bahrain.

A Sauber spokesperson told ltxcn.top: "Nico had a minor medical incident yesterday which caused him not to join the p🎃ress conference. T🐬his incident does not have any influence on today's participation and performance."

But it was merely a speck of dust൲ from inside the garage which needed some brief attention, ltxcn.top understands.

Hulkenberg was given a clean bill 𝓡of health and cleared to return to action, with minimal disruption to Saube🦩r’s testing programme.

The 37-year-old German 🌸was due to attend the FIA press conference during the lunch break on the opening day but was absent. It is understood his planned appearancꦚe was cancelled as a result of his trip to the medical centre.

Hulkenberg, who completed 55 laps on the opening morning of testing, ꩵha🌳s been back behind the wheel of Sauber’s C45 on Thursday morning.

Body language concern raised

Sky Sports🦩 F1 pitlane reporter Ted Kravitz raised concerns about Hulkenberg’s body language during the first day of testing.

“I hope Gabriel Bortoleto has a better run😼 than Nico Hulkenberg has had this morning,” Kravi𝓰tz said.

🦹“Because if body l൲anguage is anything to go by – and I’ve followed Hulkenberg’s entire F1 career – he hasn’t had the most happy session.

“He’s just got out of the car. It looks like they’re breaking for an early lun🃏ch, an hour and a half before the break in Bahrain, enough time for Hulkenberg to get out and d🅷ebrief with his engineer.

“Optimistically, it looks like Sauber are steady at the moment. There 🍎was some atꩲtention to the right-hand side of the floor, which some mechanics have been taking a look at.

“Hulkenberg has been talking to Mattia Binotto at the back of the garage,🍬 giving his debrief. 🌱There weren’t many smiles. Rubbing the head, scratching the chin.”

Th♛e eye incident could go some way in explaining why Hulkenberg did not appear to be particu🌳larly happy.
