Former Formula 1 driver Nico Hulkenberg has decided against the prospect of a career in the NTT IndyCar Series.

The 34-year-old German racer, who lost his full-time Formula 1 seat at Renault at the end of 2019 and is now Aston Martin's reserve, tested for the Arrow McLaren SP IndyCar team at Barber Motorsports Park near Birmingham, Alabama, recently.

Hulkenberg, who has made 179 career F1 starts, said IndyCar is beast.

"I can definitely confirm that these monsters are very difficult to drive. I probably need to go the gym more often," Hulkenberg said after his IndyCar test.
