The Australian Grand Prix is expected to be canceled if one of the eight Formula One crew members being tested for coronavirus returns a positive result. Five more people were quarantined and tested in Melbourne today amid fears they may have the virus, following the three who took the same precaution a day earlier, 7News reports. Haas has four staff and the McLaren also confirmed one team member in quarantine awaiting results ahead of the grand prix, due to start with practice sessions on Friday. Haas team principal Guenther Steiner says the two latest quarantined staff had reported feeling unwell. “It’s four in total, one engineer and I think three mechanics,” Steiner said at the Albert Park circuit on Thursday.
