“I have seen footballers not having the necessary precautions against Covid-19. After all, if they miss a game it’s not a drama. For us the situation is slightly different ” he has declared Lewis Hamilton on a spectrum not to be underestimated, the Coronavirus. The seven-time world champion, Max Verstappen and their respective teams (Mercedes and Red Bull) do not have to fear only zeros due to possible technical problems in terms of reliability. For both of them a possible Coronavirus positivity, with the consequent stop of the activity on the track, would be deleterious if not decisive in terms of world title.
Lewis Hamilton knows this well as he had to do it a year ago jump the second race in Bahrain disputed on the external circuit of the possible configurations of Sakhir precisely because of the positivity to the Coronavirus. The Mercedes driver was replaced very well by George Russell, but he had already posted his seventh world title. At the moment, however, skipping a race is not an option for Hamilton and Verstappen, with a calendar that in the face of a positivity would most likely lead to an absence in at least two rounds.
“It seems to me that too many people do not take the pandemic seriously, I think the bubble in the F1 paddock is in danger. I try to respect the distance on every occasion and I have reduced to the bone the number of people with whom I share long moments during the race weekends “Hamilton explained as reported by the newspaper racefans.net referencing the guardian angel, physiotherapist Angela Cullen, and photographer Timmy McGurr.
On the Coronavirus issue, Max Verstappen declared himself less worried of the rival: “If I tested positive I would miss a race, but the same would happen if I hurt myself by slipping, taking a shower at home or training by playing sports. – stated Verstappen – I am not taking particular measures against the Coronavirus, I continue to live following the routine that I have been observing for two years now, that is, since the pandemic began “.
