Zak Brown and two other members of the McLaren team have tested positive for COVID-19 in the lead up to this weekend's British GP. The team have stated that their operations for the weekend are unaffected, adding that all three members are now isolating in accordance with government guidelines. Lando Norris and Daniel Ricciardo were not in close contract with any of the members. "McLaren Racing confirmed today that three team members, including CEO Zak Brown, tested positive for COVID-19 during the team’s rigorous testing programme before the British Grand Prix," read a statement on McLaren's website. "Neither of our drivers are close contacts. "All three cases are unconnected and now isolating in accordance with government guidelines. The team’s operations for the British Grand Prix are unaffected." Brown's positive diagnosis also means that a planned demonstration outing in Mario Andretti's Lotus 79 will no longer take place.
