Williams driver George Russell could replace 2020 F1 world champion Lewis Hamilton at this weekend’s Sakhir Grand Prix in Bahrain, after the Briton tested positive for the Coronavirus.
The 7-time champion has been forced to withdraw following a positive Covid-19 test result, and Mercedes have approached Williams to see if the team would release Russell for this weekend and also for next weekend’s Grand Prix in Abu Dhabi – if Hamilton does not recover on time.
Mercedes who have guided Russell’s career since 2017, could fall back to reserve driver Stoffel Vandoorne – if their move for Russell fails.
