Super-sub Nico Hulkenberg will have an official full-time role in Formula 1 in 2021, as Aston Martin have signed him up as their reserve and development driver for this season…

超級(jí)替補(bǔ)霍肯伯格今年在F1圍場(chǎng)里終于有了全職工作，德國人簽約阿斯頓馬丁，成為這支新車隊(duì)本賽季的預(yù)備及測(cè)試車手…

The Silverstone-based operation, known as Racing Point last year, called on the German’s services three times in 2020, as a substitute for Sergio Perez and then Lance Stroll when they tested positive for Covid-19.

在作為賽點(diǎn)車隊(duì)參賽的2020年里，這支位于銀石的車隊(duì)曾三次征召霍肯伯格，以替補(bǔ)接連被檢測(cè)出新冠陽性的佩雷茲和斯特羅爾出戰(zhàn)。

“First of all, it’s great to get this deal signed up with plenty of notice – last year, I didn’t have quite as much time to prepare before jumping in the car,” said Hulkenberg. “I’m really pleased to once again work with this team – with whom I have driven many times during my career.

“首先，這次終于有人提前通知我了——去年在跳進(jìn)駕駛座前，我都沒時(shí)間做準(zhǔn)備，”霍肯伯格說，“我很高興再次和這支車隊(duì)合作，在我的職業(yè)生涯中，我們?cè)谝黄鹨呀?jīng)累積了相當(dāng)多的合作經(jīng)驗(yàn)。”

“Obviously, I’m hoping that Sebastian and Lance enjoy uninterrupted seasons this year, but the team knows it can rely on me to step in and do an excellent job, and I’m fully prepared to take on that challenge. It will also be interesting to help develop the team through the season, and I’m really looking forward to pulling great lap-times out of my arm sleeve.”

“當(dāng)然了，我希望塞巴和蘭斯可以享受一個(gè)從一而終不間斷的賽季。但車隊(duì)清楚在有需要時(shí)，他們可以仰仗我的出色發(fā)揮。與此同時(shí)，協(xié)助車隊(duì)在賽季中開發(fā)賽車也會(huì)十分有趣，我等不及要向車隊(duì)展示我壓箱底的速度了。”

Team Principal Otmar Szafnauer added: “In these difficult times, the requirement for a capable and experienced reserve driver is especially important.

車隊(duì)領(lǐng)隊(duì)奧特馬爾·薩夫納爾補(bǔ)充道：“在現(xiàn)在這種艱難的大環(huán)境下，有一位兼具能力和經(jīng)驗(yàn)的儲(chǔ)備車手，對(duì)我們太重要了?！?/p>

“Nico proved last year that he could jump in the car and perform superbly at a moment’s notice; now, with additional scope for preparation and integration, we know that we can rely on Nico to do an excellent job.”

“尼可去年就向我們證明了，他來之能戰(zhàn)的出眾能力；而現(xiàn)在，我們有機(jī)會(huì)提前進(jìn)行準(zhǔn)備和磨合，這讓我們有足夠信心期待他的出色表現(xiàn)?！?/p>
