Formula 1 champion tests positive for COVID-19
World Champion Lewis Hamilton will miss this weekend’s formula 1 Sakhir Grand Prix in Bahrain after testing positive for coronavirus.
His team, Mercedes, said the Briton woke with mild symptoms on Monday and returned a positive result at a subsequent test and again at a retest.
Hamilton, who is now self-isolating, won the Bahrain grand prix at the same circuit on Sunday.
Mercedes say a replacement will be named in due course.
