Nico Hulkenberg has arrived in Melbourne for the first Formula 1 race of 2013 with a clearer view than normal for him.

Switzerland’s Blick newspaper reports that the Sauber driver, previously a user of contact lenses whilst at the wheel, has over the winter had his eyesight corrected with laser therapy.

“I had no problem with contact lenses,” the 25-year-old German confirmed, “but this makes things easier.”
