Wolff out of quarantine after catching COVID-19, talks with Hamilton delayed by 'curveballs'

Mercedes Formula One team boss and co-owner Toto Wolff has revealed he tested positive for COVID-19 and had to isolate in Austria this month but is now out of quarantine.

The 49-year-old told Austria's ORF television in an interview at Sunday's Kitzbuehel Alpine skiing World Cup downhill that he had no symptoms.

"We had planned to be here for a few days and out of nowhere I got a positive corona test," said Austrian Wolff. "But everything's fine...it could have gone badly, but we're out of quarantine."

Five Formula One drivers, including Mercedes' seven-times world champion Lewis Hamilton, have had the new coronavirus.
