Kimi Raikkonen's positive coronation test has not only caused problems at Alfa Romeo. Also at Williams, they have consequences because of the positive test. In a statement, the team owner Jost Capito was put in isolation as a precaution after they had dinner together on Friday night.
Williams has confirmed that Capito will not be present in Zandvoort for the entire weekend and will only be back in Monza as long as he is not infected with the coronavirus. The decision has been taken to avoid bigger dangers in the F1 paddock. At Williams, they will hope to continue the good form of Hungary and Belgium at Zandvoort, as they are the only team with two double points finishes.
The Williams statement:
Jost met with Kimi yesterday but in a socially distanced manner and while he is therefore not a close contact and has been retested with a negative result, Jost and Williams have taken the decision as a precautionary measure to mitigate any potential risk to the team. (2/2)
