The FIA announced that after taking a COVID-19 test that produced an inconclusive result, Sergio Perez was re-tested, and it was revealed that he has indead tested positive for COVID-19.

Perez has entered self-quarantine, and will not drive in Silverstone.

The team doesn’t have a reserve driver but can use the Mercedes’ reserve drivers. Stoffel Vandoorne is in Berlim for a Formula E race, Esteban Gutiérrez has been out of Formuka 1 since 2016, so the best guess is that they will call in Nico Hulkenberg tonight.
