MERCEDES say a member of its Formula One team has tested positive for Covid-19 ahead of this weekend’s Eifel Grand Prix. A spokesperson said: “We can confirm that a team member has tested positive. Anyone who does test positive is immediately placed into self isolation with those who have come into contact with them also isolated until tested. Racing Point’s Sergio Perez was the last person to test positive inside the paddock ahead of the British GP at Silverstone in July. Last week, F1 announced the highest number of positive tests in a week since the season resumed, with 10 personnel contracting the virus in the wake of the Russian Grand Prix.
