Sections of the Formula 1 media have reacted with scepticism as it emerges that Lance Stroll and his team-owning father Lawrence recently tested positive for covid-19. At the Nurburgring, where Lance Stroll sat out the race with a stomach ache, Racing Point repeatedly denied that the 21-year-old had contracted the notorious virus. Stroll says he was in isolation for ten days and has now tested negative and is heading to Portugal. “Why did he return home without taking a test at the circuit?” “After the Eifel race, race director Michael Masi said Stroll had been tested again on Sunday morning, but there is not a word about that in Stroll’s explanation. “Why did the team consistently say during the race weekend that Stroll was not sick with corona, although obviously this could not be ruled out?”
