NICO Hulkenberg admits he will have to be brave behind the wheel at this weekend’s Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
The German, who drives for Enstone-based Renault, picked up another points-scoring finish in Montreal a fortnight ago when coming home eighth.
And Hulkenberg is looking forward to taking on the tight, twisting, fast street circuit in Baku on Sunday.
The 29-year-old said: “There are some walls waiting for you, so it is important to be quite brave.
“It is the fastest street circuit on the calendar.
“Overtaking will be possible with the long, DRS straights.
“There are a lot of tight, 90-degree turns matched with flat-out kinks, so I am looking forward to racing it.
“The castle complex of turns eight to ten will be especially close for the wider cars.”
