Lewis Hamilton, seven times Formula One world champion, will race for Mercedes in Sunday’s Abu Dhabi season-ender after he tested negative for COVID-19 in multiple tests.
The Mercedes team said on Thursday that Hamilton has already arrived in Abu Dhabi after completing quarantine in Bahrain, Mercedes added.
Hamilton was replaced at last weekend’s Sakhir Grand Prix by fellow Briton George Russell.
Russell will now return to Williams for the weekend, reports Gulf News.
Fans were anxious that — despite matching Michael Schumacher’s record seven world titles with a brilliant run in Turkey last month — the British 35-year-old may not be able to give his campaign a fitting finish as the curtain comes down on 2020 in Abu Dhabi on Sunday.
