Perez makes himself heard after positive test: ''I wish Nico the best of luck''

Sergio Perez will not be in action during the second Grand Prix at Silverstone. The Mexican is in good health, he says, but the driver from Racing Point has again tested positive for the coronavirus.

"I won't be able to get in the car this weekend. I wish Nico and my team all the best and thank God that I am still in good health. I hope to be able to return soon and I want to thank you for all your support,'' Perez said on Twitter.

The question remains as to when the Mexican will be able to return to Formula 1. For example, Will Buxton will let us know on Twitter that a PCR test only tests whether the virus is present in the body, but not necessarily whether it is active. So Perez could already have recovered, but can't race yet.
