Seems like he also had been to Dubai for a holiday. (Lando went down with it in Dubai). Seems like Dubai is a hotspot.

I agree. By the way, tourists are only allowed in Dubai, while Abu Dhabi is 'closed off'.

Just days ago, Dubai was taken off the list of destinations the UK considers safe.

I understand Dubai is a destination people flock to to escape lockdown measures. The resulting ignorant conduct starts to show.

The last time I was really badly ill was after a trip to Dubai in 2018. Fortunately no covid back then, but a nasty strain - that's for sure. Took me about 10 days to get better.

On a global scale the pandemic is unfortunately still gaining strength.

Not a driver but certainly a notable in the F1 Pitlane.....

Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff has become the latest senior figure in Formula 1 to test positive for Covid-19.

Toto confirmed to Austrian broadcaster ORF yesterday he had contracted the virus but has already completed his quarantine period following the diagnosis. He is said to have had “the mildest of symptoms”.

So Lewis and Toto from Mercedes, but apparently six other Mercedes staff also tested positive ahead of the Eifel Grand Prix at the Nurburgring last October.

So,with those known individual team members we have....

18/03/2020 One team member McLaren
30/07/2020 Sergio Perez Racing Point
08/10/2020 Six team members Mercedes
13/10/2020 Two team members Renault
21/10/2020 Lawrence Stroll Racing Point
21/10/2020 Lance Stroll Racing Point
30/10/2020 Four team members Racing Point
11/11/2020 Simon Roberts Williams
16/11/2020 Mario Isola Pirelli
26/11/2020 Jonathan Wheatley Red Bull
1/12/2020 Lewis Hamilton Mercedes
5/1/2021 Lando Norris McLaren
13/1/2021 Charles Leclerc Ferrari
25/1/2021 Toto Wolff Mercedes
