SERGIO PEREZ is in line for a shock return to racing – just seven days since testing positive for COVID-19. A statement from the team said: “Public Health England have confirmed that Sergio Perez’s period of quarantine has been completed. Perez’s return would be a blow to Nico Hulkenberg, who was called up as a late replacement. Hulkenberg said: “Obviously that would be somewhat disappointing, after having been back in the car and getting a taste of it and then this. “But it was always clear that I come in as a temporary replacement for Checo, not knowing if it’s one race, two races or what. Hulkenberg says he has now been speaking to other teams about making a full-time F1 return in 2021.
