Bubble wrapped: Formula One's masked men keep their distanceWorkers install a banner reading "Welcome to Spielberg" near the entrance to the Red Bull RingSPIELBERG (AUSTRIA) - In the unlikely scenario of Romain Grosjean sweeping to a podium finish at Sunday's Austrian Grand Prix, he demands forgiveness should he break the strict coronavirus health protocols put in place at the Red Bull Ring. The Formula One season, which suffered a dramatic false start in Australia in March, finally gets underway this weekend in Spielberg. On the ground at the Red Bull Ring, the sport's brave new world was very much in evidence on Thursday. Lewis Hamilton, chasing a record-equalling seventh world title, said he was getting used to life in the bubble. He will need to get used to it as the Red Bull Ring will also host the second race of the season next weekend.
