Nico Hulkenberg was jet-lagged yesterday during the traditional autograph session for drivers ahead of the 24 Hours of Le Mans having flown in from the Canadian Grand Prix. The German will run twice around the clock for the first time in his career in one of the Porsche 919 entries, driving alongside New Zealander Earl Bamber and Britain's Nick Tandy.
