Grand Prix at Imola, beating his Mercedes teammate
Lewis Hamilton into second, but much of the talk in the paddock surrounded the likelihood of a full national lockdown in
England next week. Mercedes and six others of the 10 teams in F1 are based in England and, while this weekend’s race will not be affected, the constructors are understood to be expecting to have to adapt to the situation as and when restrictions are applied, with four more meetings scheduled to take place this season.
