According to two-time Formula 1 World Champion Mika Hakkinen there are also positive aspects to the long winter break because of the corona virus. The drivers now have all the time they need to get everything physically in order.
Rest
In the Inside Formula 1 podcast of Unibet, Hakkinen says it's a great opportunity to do physical training now. "Rest is one of the most important points to stay strong and fit. That's how I see the positive side of this stop."
According to the Finn it is important to distinguish yourself as a driver: "You have to be very selfish and spoiled", he says. "So you have to be a selfish person, keeping everything around you to yourself."
Opportunities on the title
This can be the proven opportunity for the younger drivers to develop themselves. That way drivers like Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc will be able to compete against Lewis Hamilton for the title next season.
