Sebastian Vettel has missed the two rounds of the season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, he will return to Aston Martin for the next Formula 1 race in Australia.

Before the season opener in Bahrain, four-time Formula 1 world champion Vettel tested positive for covid, so he was pulled out from the weekend's race and urged Aston Martin to choose Nico Hulkenberg as his replacement.

Vettel failed to return a negative test in time for Saudi Arabia's second race of the year, with Hulkenberg representing again.

Aston Martin has announced that Vettel will return to next weekend's Australian Grand Prix after being declared fit.

It marks the start of Vettel's season and gives the German driver a chance to turn Aston Martin's fortunes back on track after a difficult start.

Aston Martin is one of only two teams to score points this season, with Hulkenberg and Lance Stroll ranking 12th and 13th in Saudi Arabia, respectively.
