- Racing Point's Lance Stroll revealed Wednesday morning that he tested positive for COVID-19 after the Eifel Grand Prix. As you may remember, Stroll sat out at the Nurburgring after Friday's practice sessions due to what was described at the time as an upset stomach and "flu-like symptoms."
Since then, Stroll has isolated for 10 days and claims that his last COVID-19 test came back negative. He plans to race this weekend in Portugal, although given the current situation, that could change in a minute.
