McLaren’s preparation for the British Grand Prix has been dramatically altered after Team Principal Zak Brown tested positive for Covid-19 on Thursday. The McLaren chief was named in a team statement, which also added that two others members of staff had tested positive along with Brown. A team statement read: ‘McLaren Racing confirmed today that three team members, including CEO Zak Brown, tested positive for Covid-19 during the team’s rigorous testing programme before the British Grand Prix. The team’s operations for the British Grand Prix are unaffected.’. In a follow-up tweet to the team’s statement, Brown added: ‘Following our team’s pre-event testing for the British GP, I’ve tested positive for covid-19.
