Hamilton traveled to Dubai ahead of the Bahrain Grand Prix last weekend, where he celebrated his seventh world title with his family. Although all members of his family tested negative, Hamilton likely contracted the coronavirus there or during the trip.

Toto Wolff was asked at the Sahir if Hamilton had permission to travel to Dubai.

“Lewis doesn’t need permission to do that. In your free time you do what you want, there are no restrictions Wolff said. – If you want, you can board any vehicle, jump out of any plane. She knows what it takes to feel good. Nobody knows where and when the coronavirus is spread. Lewis wore the mask during the trip, but got infected. “

Wolff said Hamilton was given a weekend off, without commenting on how his deputy George Russell works at the Sahir, not as if his compatriot was in need based on Friday’s results.

“She needs to be healed now. I don’t think I’m very attentive to what happens here, racing takes a backseat if you feel like a battering ram. Wolff said. – Lewis was pretty bad at the beginning of the week, but his symptoms had already eased. ”

Wolff said that if Hamilton recovers, of course he will be back in his car next week at the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix and is also expected to sign his 2021 contract when he gets over the illness.
