SAKHIR, Bahrain -- Red Bull's Sergio Perez believes Formula One should consider allowing drivers who have tested positive for COVID-19 to continue to race as long as they don't have severe symptoms.
Four-time champion Sebastian Vettel was ruled out of the opening round of the new season this weekend after testing positive on the eve of the first practice session in Bahrain.
Vettel is the second F1 driver to test positive in the space of seven days after McLaren's Daniel Ricciardo missed the final preseason test due to a positive COVID-19 test at the end of last week.
