Sebastian Vettel To Miss Bahrain Grand Prix

 

Sebastian Vettel will not be participating at the season opening grand prix in Bahrain this weekend following his Covid-19 test that came out positive. 

The four-time F1 champion is into his second season with Aston Martin that he joined after a failed contract renewal deal with his former team Ferarri.  

Aston Martin are understood to replace the German driver with a reserved driver named Hulkenberg - the Australian has been an off-and-on F1 driver (not permanent) since 2019. 

Sebastian was no where near podium appearance - won no race, last season which saw Red Bull's Max Verstappen emerged as the F1 world champion and brought the team's seven-year F1 driver's title-drought to its end.
