LEWIS HAMILTON is set to miss the rest of the Formula One season after testing positive for Covid-19. Meanwhile, the Haas F1 team have confirmed that Nikita Mazepin will drive for the team next season. The results are also sent to the FIA and, should there be a positive test, that person and their team would be notified. As a result, Hamilton will be forced to isolate for 10 days before undergoing another test for Covid-19, as part of the Bahraini government’s procedures. This is standard procedure where those in the bubble remain in isolation following the results of further testing. Meanwhile, the whole of the Mercedes race team in Bahrain would be testested – like every person attending this weekend’s race.
