Red Bull sporting director Jonathan Wheatley will miss Bahrain race after contracting Covid-19
Wheatley, 53, tested positive during mandatory testing in the UK last week and will miss this weekend's Bahrain Grand Prix.
Jonathan became the third senior public-facing Formula 1 figure to contract coronavirus.
Pirelli F1 boss Mario Isola tested positive after the last race in Turkey, which Williams acting team principal Simon Roberts missed as a result of the same virus.
It is however not clear whether Jonathan will be able to return for the second race in Bahrain a week later.
Last month, Racing Point driver Lance Stroll missed the Eifel Grand Prix with an illness that was confirmed as coronavirus after he was tested when he returned home to Switzerland. His father, Lawrence Stroll contracted the virus the same day.
