Four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel will begin his Formula 1 season at the Australian Grand Prix after recovering from Covid-19.

Reserve driver Nico Hulkenberg replaced Vettel in the Aston Martin, but was unable to score any points, finishing 17th in Bahrain and 12th in Saudi Arabia.

Vettel, 34, will line up alongside team-mate Lance Stroll in Melbourne for the 2022 season’s third grand prix on April 8-10.
