PARIS, Dec 17 — Ferrari Formula One driver Charles Leclerc has contracted Covid-19 a second time and is self-isolating at home in Monaco, the Italian team said on Thursday.
The 24-year-old also tested positive in January, before the season started.
Ferrari said Leclerc, who featured in a recent F1 video urging people to get vaccinated, was tested on his return from last Sunday’s season-ending race in Abu Dhabi and was feeling fine with mild symptoms.
