Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton has revealed he has been self- isolating despite not showing symptoms, after being in contact with two people recently who have contracted coronavirus.

Hamilton was at an event in London in early March where he met actor Idris Elba and Sophie Trudeau, the wife of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who have both since tested positive for COVID-19.

Hamilton then flew out to Melbourne for the Australian Grand Prix, the first race of the F1 season, which was called off last Friday morning.

And the six-time world champion has revealed since then he has kept himself distanced from other people.
