F1 will drop its COVID vaccination requirement for the 2023 season as it relaxes its protocols further. Full story ⬇️
Following the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in the spring of 2020 and the delayed start to that season, the FIA introduced a strict set of protocols to reduce the risk of spreading the virus and keeping the paddock safe.
In a statement issued following the latest meeting of the FIA World Motor Sport Council in Bologna on Wednesday, it was confirmed that further steps will be taken to relax the protocols for next year. In 2022, those working in the paddock were required to show proof of vaccination - two doses of a vaccine recognised by the World Health Organisation - or their medical exemption when collecting their passes at the start of the season.
The World Motor Sport Council also confirmed the FIA will no longer organise on-site testing facilities, something that has been present since the first race with the COVID protocols in place in July 2020.
