Formula 1 teams are working with government and health authorities to increase the supply of ventilators during the coronavirus crisis. Ventilators are a device used to help supply more air to patients with breathing difficulties, one of the effects of severe coronavirus symptoms. F1 said the aim was to “provide as much help and assistance as we can”. A number of teams have applied-technologies divisions that could directly feed into the national production capacity of ventilators in the UK and Italy, particularly McLaren, Red Bull, Williams, Mercedes and Ferrari.
