Renault has to qualify without team boss Abiteboul

Renault will have to do without team boss Cyril Abiteboul for the time being this weekend. The Frenchman is still in mandatory quarantine in his hotel in Abu Dhabi, after flying from Bahrain to the United Arab Emirates at a later time.

Abiteboul in mandatory quarantine

Abiteboul left Bahrain for an unknown reason a little later. Because of this, the team boss is still in his hotel room for the time being to complete the 48-hour mandatory quarantine. This is what Jack Plooij and Olav Mol say at Ziggo Sport.

It is not yet certain if Abiteboul will be able to leave his hotel room in time for tomorrow's race. For this, he also has to deliver a second negative test. However, there are no rumours that Abiteboul actually has the coronavirus.
