[ 2020 ] AMG Mercedes F1 Team - Mercedes

Honestly, I'm betting Lewis is going to catch some heat from senior management. It could really hurt the team if he catches covid and can't drive for a month or so.

His physiotherapist Angela was with him. I wouldn't take the risk in that crowd.

One would expect them to follow the procedure of isolating themselves for the potential 2 week incubation period prior to being tested before traveling to Austria and instead he's in a huge crowd exactly two weeks before the first race and just 9-10 days before flying to Austria ... irresponsible or maybe outright idiotic behaviour regardless of the cause he's protesting for/against because he might still get tested negative when he arrives in Austria and infect a bunch of people before even having any symptoms (if at all).

Hamilton secretly attended the Black Lives Matter protest at Hyde Park this weekend.

Good on him in being true to the cause he is vocal in fighting for and ultimately that’s his call.

Without detracting from the message- can I ask a genuine question with regards to the Austrian GP- if the protest did not observe social distancing rules, should Hamilton need to isolate/quarantine for 14 days? Not a problem in terms of the race but it would affect his ability to practice and qualify?

To be fair, all the photos I've seen show him stood apart from the nearest people by enough for me to think that he did socially distance at the protest.

If he didn't, then the advice would be that he should voluntarily isolate for 14 days, but there is nothing compelling him to.

To be fair, he's probably safer in that situation than anyone who's been on the tube or even some supermarkets lately!!

He likely contracted COVID back in March, I wouldn’t worry too much about him.

He was at a party which had Idris Elba and Justin Trudeau’s wife among the guests. Most guests were infected but asymptomatic. He never did test for it though.

Guys, come on. You know the rules.
My party, your party, my country, your country, my color, your color, my cause, your cause. Yawn! Excellent way to offend people and start fights too!
More than a whole page of politics has been removed.

As it says above, back to F1?

He did test for it(tested negative) and actually self quarantined in Australia for at least 2 weeks.

Why spread lies?

ROKiT previously served as Williams' title sponsor from the start of the 2019 Formula 1 season, only for the deal to be terminated by the team at the end of May.

But ROKiT is now on course to become a sponsor of the Mercedes F1 team ahead of the new season, with confirmation of the deal understood to be imminent.

Poor management by Williams, exactly why they are in the position they are.

"Rokit"ted from worst to first.

Probably for the same money

I didn’t know he had tested negative, thanks for the info.

[JordanMugen]

Valid points, but Merc seem to trust Rokit.

Mercedes rear side of rear wing is bare, that would be a good place to rotate Rokit brands -- Rokit, ABK Beer etc.
