F1 | Zehnder points the finger at anti-Covid19 regulations in Russia: "They didn't follow the rules"

Interviewed by the Swiss newspaper View, Beat Zehnder pointed the finger at the anti-COVID-19 which were applied by the organizers in Russian Grand Prix, highlighting how most cases of Coronavirus within the team Alfa Romeo have developed between the race of Sochi and that ofEifel. According to the Sports Director of the Italian-Swiss team, al Sochi Autodrom a real flaw in the anti-Covid regulations has emerged, an aspect that has actually increased the risk of contagion within the stables.

“Up until the last race, 3242 tests were carried out in our team and I myself carried out 40 in 24 weeks,” said Beat Zehnder. “Seven positives emerged from our swabs, four of which were only a Sochi. This leads us to think that the Russians did not observe the safety regulations in an exemplary manner. Consider that in the hotel some took selfies with me without a mask and therefore it is not surprising that our four positive cases were recorded in the catering sector".
