Formula 1 and the FIA have announced that there have been no cases of Covid-19 in the latest round of testing carried out by the championship.
The results have been released on a weekly basis and after two rounds of clear outcomes two individuals – who were not involved in the Austrian rounds – tested positive prior to the Hungarian Grand Prix.
They were quickly removed and other individuals traced and cleared.
On Saturday it was confirmed that across the past seven days of those tested no positive results were returned.
Overall 1,461 tests were carried out on drivers, teams and personnel.
“The lower number of tests conducted in this period compared to previous weeks reflects the fact there is a break in the race schedule following three back to back events,” the series confirmed.
“The FIA and Formula 1 are providing this aggregated information for the purposes of competition integrity and transparency.
“No specific details as to teams or individuals will be provided by the FIA or Formula 1 and results will be made public every seven days.”
An increase in tests is expected across the next week as the Formula 1 paddock gears up for the British Grand Prix.
