Haas driver Nikita Mazepin has tested positive for Covid-19 and will not take part in Sunday's season-ending Grand Prix in Abu Dhabi, his team said.
“Nikita is physically well, having been asymptomatic, but he will now self-isolate and adhere to the guidelines of the relevant public health authorities, with safety the ultimate priority for all parties concerned,” Haas said in a statement.
Haas reserve driver Pietro Fittipaldi is in Abu Dhabi, but Formula One organisers explained that because the Brazilian hasn't taken part in at least one session this weekend, he is not eligible to stand in for the Russian.
