Nico Hulkenberg-Protege of Michael Schumacher-Impresses in F1 Testing

German driver Nico Hulkenberg is set to take part in a two-day test with Williams at Jerez this week.

Hulkenberg, who dominated the 2006/2007 A1 GP series before moving to the Formula 3 Euro Series, will get his first taste of F1 on Tuesday at the Spanish circuit.  SportingLife.com

Williams gave 20-year-old German Nico Hulkenberg, a protege of Michael Schumacher’s manager Willi Weber, his Formula One test debut.

Hulkenberg performed creditably, lapping a fraction faster than the Toyota-powered team’s Japanese race driver Kazuki Nakajima. IHT.com
