No Race Cancellation Even if Driver Tests Positive for Coronavirus, Says Formula One Boss

Formula One will not cancel a race even if a driver tests positive for Covid-19, chief executive Chase Carey said on Tuesday.

The American was speaking after the sport published an eight-race initial calendar with the season starting in Austria on July 5.

The original March 15 opener in Australia was cancelled after a McLaren team member returned a positive test for the new coronavirus before the weekend had started.
