All seven memb꧋ers of McLaren’s Formula 1 race crew t﷽hat were tested for coronavirus following the Australian Grand Prix have returned negative results.

McLaren withdrew from the plann✱ꦬed season-opener in Melbourne after a member of its team contracted COVID-19, which ultimately resulted in the race being called off.

The British squad subsequently placed a total of 16 members of its crew into a 14-day period of quarantine as a precautionary measure, with the rest of the team no♑t required to be tested for the flu-like virജus.

McLaren confirmed earlier this week that the team member who tested positive is no longer showin🉐g symptoms of coronav🧔irus, though the rest of the crew currently self-isolating in Melbourne will remain there to observe the full quarantine period as advised.

Driver Carlos Sainz also placed 🎃himself into a voluntary period of “strict quarantine” as a precaution, with the Spaniard revealing on Tuesday that h💟e had also tested negative for COVID-19.

“McLaren is pleased to confirm that all seven of its race team members who were tested for coronavirus while in quarantine in Melbourne💟 have returned negative results,” a McLaren team statement read.

“All are doing well and in good spirits. The one team member that tested positive initially is also now free of symptom🀅s. The balance of personnel were not required to be tested at the direction of the medical auth♍orities.

“In total😼, 16 members of the team were placed in quarantine, 14 due to close contact with༺ the team member who tested positive, and an additional team member who developed symptoms over the weekend.

“As a precaution, these team members will remain in self-isolati🔴on for a further week to honour the 14-day period as requested by the Australian medical authorities. The team continues to be supported by three members of senior management who have stayed for the duration.

“On behalf of the team and all McLaren personnel in Melbourne, the team sends its thanks for all the we𒁃ll wishes, support and offers of care package deliveries, which are going a long way🔴 to maintain team morale.”
