Perez gets green light for Spanish GP return
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Sergio Perez has been cleared to return to Formula 1 action at this weekend’s Spanish Grand Prix, after missing the back-to-back races at Silverstone due to his positive Covid-19 test.

Perez returned an inconclusive test, followed by a positive test, during the build-up to the British Grand Prix and underwent a period of self-isolation as a result.

He was cleared by government authorities to return for the second event at Silverstone but again returned a positive test and had to sit out the race.

On Thursday morning Racing Point confirmed that Perez has now provided a negative test and he has therefore been approved to return to competition by the FIA, as per its Covid-19 Code of Conduct clause.

Nico Hulkenberg had remained on standby for Racing Point for the upcoming event at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, having competed across the two Silverstone events.

Formula 1 personnel must undertake Covid-19 tests every five days, including one within 96 hours of an event starting, and return a negative test before being permitted entry to the paddock.

Only one positive test – that of Perez – was returned across the back-to-back events at Silverstone.

Racing Point isolated and regularly tested those who had come into close contact with Perez and all involved returned negative tests.
