Sebastian Vettel will miss the start of the new season in Formula 1 due to Covid-19. 

The Aston Martin driver tested positive in the last test before the race for the Bahrain Grand Prix this weekend. 

The replacement for the German will be his compatriot Nico Hulkenberg, who has the role of reserve driver for Aston Martin. He will be in the car starting from the free trainings until the Sunday race.
