Hulkenberg feeling the Bahraini atmosphere in Sepang


SEPANG: Nico Hulkenberg (pic) is feeling the Bahraini atmosphere in Malaysia as he returns to the track where he scored his first Formula One World Cham­pion­­ship points 16 years ago.

Unlike the usual race at the Sepang International Circuit (SIC), this year’s return sees the circuit converted to the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia, and the 39-year-old Hulkenberg is impressed with what he has seen so far.
