Hulkenberg unwell in Abu Dhabi

Nico Hulkenberg is spending Thursday in his hotel room rather than at the Yas Marina circuit.

German reports by SID news agency and Auto Motor und Sport say the Sauber driver is unwell, apparently with an upset stomach picked up last week in India.

The reports say the Hinwil based team is allowing Hulkenberg to recuperate rather than fulfill his media duties so that he is well enough to drive on Friday.
