Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc has announced that he has tested positive for Covid-19.

The frenchman announced it in a Twitter message and he said, “I am feeling OK and have mild symptoms. I will remain in isolation in my home in Monaco in compliance with the regulations set by the local health authorities.”

Leclerc is the fifth driver to have tested positive, which means that 25% of the Forumua One grid has caught the virus.

Sergio Perez, Lance Stroll and Lewis Hamilton caught covid during the season, and Lando Norris tested positive while on holiday in Dubai earlier this month.
