Although it is no longer mandatory to wear a mask in the F1 paddock, Hamilton was seen sporting one during press conference appearances and while in group settings at the last two races in Great Britain and Austria.
The seven-time world champion, who was forced to miss the Sakhir Grand Prix after catching the virus in December 2020, revealed he has “experienced it twice", adding his return to mask-wearing was a “personal choice”.Never miss a video from“I just noticed a lot of people around me are getting sick and definitely don't want to get sick again,” Hamilton explained. “I've already experienced it twice.
“But just I notice a lot of people around me, a lot of my friends messaging me that they've got COVID and some of them are much worse than others.” Hamilton’s usual race engineer Peter Bonnington was absent at last weekend’s Austrian Grand Prix. With Bonnington working from home, Hamilton’s radio communications were led by his performance engineer Marcus Dudley.
