Dilbagh Gill is set to miss the final six races of the season

FE’s first race since February gets underway on Wednesday, with Gill announcing his positive test just a day before the restart.

Gill said: “The first thing to get off my chest is that I have tested positive for COVID-19 in the first test.

“I’m under isolation at this point in time and waiting for my second test.

“I do not have any symptoms and I’m feeling quite well so I think that’s something from my side.

“I feel a bit bummed that I’m not able to help the team at this point in time but it’s best for everyone’s health that I’m away.”

He added: “We had expected that there might have to be some team changes going forward because of Covid-19. Everyone had a back-up.

“As of now, the initial instructions is to spend 10 to 14 days in isolation, so yes, I think the finale is going to be in this hotel room for me.”

FE released a statement to say of their 1,423 tests in Berlin, only two tests were positive.

Their statement said: “As of Monday, August 3, 1,421 people tested received negative results and two received positive results.

“The two individuals have entered self-quarantine in accordance with the instructions of the relevant public health authorities and will continue to follow the procedure mandated by those authorities.

“In both instances, the FIA Formula E Championship’s in-depth protocol has been closely followed.”
