Lewis Hamilton says he is trying to get in shape to return for the final Grand Prix of the season this weekend after contracting coronavirus. The Mercedes driver missed last weekend’s Sakhir Grand Prix after testing positive on 1 December. Hamilton said he woke up on Tuesday “feeling great and got my first work-out in [since his positive test]. Hamilton did not say whether he had tested negative, which suggests that he has not at this stage. The latest Mercedes can put Hamilton in the car to enable him to race in Abu Dhabi is on Saturday. Conversations are ongoing between Hamilton’s management and the authorities on this matter.
