Due to the corona virus, the race weekend on the Red Bull Ring will look very different than normal. It will take some getting used to, especially for all the team members. At certain times, according to Christian Horner, complying with the regulations will require a lot of discipline.
When professional football started again in Germany, the players had to get used to the fact that they had to keep their distance on the pitch as much as possible despite all the tests. Embraces after a goal were spotted several times, something that of course was not the intention. The team members in Formula 1 will be asked to show similar restraint.
"The strangest thing will be either going to the grid or the post-race procedure. What do you do? Tap elbows with someone afterwards if you have a good result? There is always a lot of emotion when you are at the end of a Grand Prix, especially if you are lucky enough to get a result, so that is going to test discipline to the full."
These strict rules follow after weeks of preparation that has already gone differently than normal. "There are many operational procedures that have taken a monumental effort from all involved within the Team to update, and sacrifices have also been made by those travelling personnel as they will be heavily restricted when in other countries", Horner said in his column for RedBull.com.
