Ted Kravitz confirmed on Sky Sports F1 that the FIA has imposed ten days of quarantine. This means that Sergio Perez will not be able to attend the 70th anniversary of Formula 1 at Silverstone next weekend.

Second chance

This will give Nico Hülkenberg the chance to shine in the Racing Point during the race next week. The German driver was unable to start the British Grand Prix today due to a motor problem with the RP20.

Next weekend will be the second Grand Prix at Silverstone called the 70th Anniversary Grand Prix. The race will be a one-time event in honour of the 70th Anniversary of Formula 1.

Grand Prix of Spain

Should Perez test negative after his 10-day isolation, he will be expected in the car for the Spanish Grand Prix. Szafnauer has already let us know that he is considering the possibility of contracting Hülkenberg as a permanent reserve driver.
