In a major blow to Haas F1, 2 more team personnel are currently in self-isolation. The duo is under quarantine after showing symptoms of Coronavirus and have undergone tests. As of now, the number of potential cases in the F1 paddock stands at 5.

2 more from Haas F1 in self-isolation

Yesterday, 3 members from 2 different teams who displayed symptoms were self-isolated in their hotel rooms. 2 belonged to Haas and one person from McLaren. Although this could very well turn out to be a false alarm, teams aren’t taking any chances. Furthermore, the test results haven’t been announced yet.

Should the team personnel test positive, the ramifications will be serious. If the virus has infected other team members, teams will have a nightmare taking part in the race weekend. With the virus infecting many at a rapid rate, things could get out of hand, jeopardizing F1’s plans.

Haas F1 team principal Guenther Steiner acknowledged the 4 team members under self-isolation. The Italian hoped for the best but couldn’t specify a plan of action, should things go south.
