LEWIS HAMILTON is determined to make sure his F1 world championship defence is not derailed by the coronavirus. However, F1 has been given an exemption and while strict testing will be in place, Hamilton is taking no chances by staying in isolation in his motorhome. He said: “I’ll stay at the track, so nothing changes for me.

However, there are still gaps in November with more European races being targeted. “I think by the time we get to Barcelona, he’ll be back in the car.
