To compensate for this long absence, Nico H\u00fclkenberg has undergone intense physical preparation this winter.<\/p>\n
The offseason has been a mix of many things to be honest. I did a lot of sports, it was two intense months that I mainly used to physically rebuild myself, said the 35-year-old driver.<\/p>\n
