Once there are cases in the paddock that is bad news for everyone IMO (including other teams). I know the teams are supposed to keep apart, but I would expect there to be further issues in coming races.
On Sky at least they have confirmed the drivers are not currently affected
"It is understood that the case does not involve either of the team's race drivers, Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas, and will not disrupt the running of the team's race weekend at the Nurburgring."
Everyone wants the championships to be decided on the track not due to drivers sitting out events because of covid.

Yeah, they are supposed to but clearly dont as we seen a few weeks ago when Lewis walked up to Seb, put his hand on his shoulder and the pair of them chatted while walking along the pit lane .....neither one seemed too concerned about keeping distance etc, then in Russia several drivers had partners in the garage....I thought this was a big no-no?

If it rains/is as wet as expected Mick may not get as much track time as he would hope with teams being limited on wet tyres.
Might be of interest to some of you viewing from parts of Europe

Media all focusing on Schumacher Junior when Illot is getting a run in the Haas as well (and he's a brit). I feel for the guy because Haas say he isn't even on the shortlist for a drive with them. Might end up being a forgotten man because of his rivals name. Damn shame.

Im fairly sure I read Ferrari are pushing Haas and Alfa to take a young driver each......Schumacher, Illot and Swartzman all 3 in the running for the 2 spots.

That sort of implies Schwartzman is getting the Hass seat then.
