Daniel Ricciardo to race in Bahrain after testing negative for Covid-19
McLaren driver Daniel Ricciardo has tested negative for Covid-19, meaning he will be allowed to return to the Formula One paddock on Thursday and compete in this weekend's season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix.
Ricciardo tested positive for the virus after arriving in Bahrain last week, ruling him out of the final three days of preseason testing and putting his attendance at Sunday's race at risk.
However, after feeling better at the start of the week, McLaren confirmed on Wednesday that Ricciardo would be back with the team and fit to race.
