ROME – The coronavirus also hit the Formula 1 World Championship. McLaren has decided to renounce the Australian Grand Prix due to the positivity of a member of the team.
The other McLaren members, including the drivers, were swabbed and placed in a state of preventive quarantine.
Good news for Haas instead. The three members of the team who had accused the illness tested negative for the coronavirus swab. In this way, Haas can regularly take part in the tests of the Formula 1 World Championship.
Despite the positive nature of the McLaren card, the International Automobile Federation (FIA) has decided not to suspend the Formula 1 World Championship.
This choice sent the reigning Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton into a rage. Here is the hot outburst of the English champion.
“The federation only thinks about money. In a period like this, the Formula 1 World Championship should also be suspended.
All the other sports are stopping, why do we have to keep competing? In this way we endanger ourselves and our families. The FIA's decision is irresponsible. "
