Ferrari racing director Laurent Mekies to miss British GP after testing positive for Covid-19. Laurent Mekies will not be attending the British GP.

Coronavirus positivity cases are growing exponentially and Formula 1 is no exception. All drivers will have to pay particular attention from here to Budapest given the fact that four races are scheduled to take place during the next five weeks until the summer break, even if it is not so easy to shield themselves from the potential contagion (it is no coincidence that Lewis Hamilton showed up yesterday at the press conference wearing a mask unlike others).

Scuderia Ferrari, for example, will not have sporting director Laurent Mekies at the pitwall this weekend, as French engineer tested positive for Covid-19. Laurent Mekies, however, will be fully operational, working as usual together with the team, albeit remotely.
