Abu Dhabi GP Formula One
Lewis Hamilton is back in action to complete the 2020 season this weekend after returning necessary negative Covid-19 tests in Bahrain and on arrival in UAE after 10-day isolation ends; George Russell returns to his seat at Williams.
Mercedes said Hamilton, following his period of isolation in Bahrain, tested negative for Covid-19 on Wednesday and then again on his arrival at Yas Marina on Thursday, meaning the world champion will be back in his W11 for the remainder of the weekend.
Russell therefore will not have a second outing in Hamilton’s seat for Mercedes – where he starred and nearly won in Bahrain last week – and will instead drive for Williams in the F1 2020 finale.
Other News:
Sebastian Vettel has described his six years at Ferrari as “a rollercoaster ride” as he heads into his final race with the team in Abu Dhabi.
The four-time champion said he felt an “emotional attachment” to Ferrari, but admitted he and the team had “failed” because they did not win the title.
Vettel said: “Looking back, there were a lot of things we should have and could have done better.
“The main thing is to make sure I learn from it, and I have grown from it.”
The 33-year-old is joining Aston Martin next year – the new name for the team currently known as Racing Point – after Ferrari told him before this season even started that they would not be renewing his contract.
Predictions:
Hamilton win @1/2
Bottas Podium @1/4
Russell Podium @300/1 (in Williams)
