And with engine development still restricted, Mercedes power advantage is still going to be there.

That's not good. Hopefully its negative.

So Perez is out of his teams home races. As well as some of the Racing Point race team are now quarantined.
Reserve and test drivers are Esteban Guitterez and Stoffel Vandoorne iirc. Both are also McLaren and Mercedes test and reserve drivers.
Although... Hulkenberg is available...
This could be interesting.

He wasn’t great in Hungary. I imagine there will be a lot of people that could be looking at isolation.
I dare say that if spreads amongst the team we could be looking at race cancellations, especially if tracing point have to pull out.

‘No wider impact’ - imagine if it was bottas or Hamilton!

Bottas's practice of flying home between back-to-back races isn't looking so smart.
I feel sorry for Pérez, he'll be out for at least two races at a time when his contract is being questioned.

Not smart and also two fingers up at all the other staff who don’t.
Didn’t he go by private jet and stay within his personal bubble?

Curious who's going to replace Perez. I presume he didn't fly to Mexico between any of the races did he?

Reading some of the F1 sites it appears that Hulkenburg is the favourite - Vandoorne is in Berlin for the Formula E and Gutierrez hasn’t raced F1 for some time.
Also saw a few suggestions that Merc should get Russell into the RP for a couple of races but I imagine the COVID bubble protocols would rule that out.

I'd love to see the hulk in the RP and finally score a podium

Hulk is apparently at Silverstone so I think that confirms it. Should be interesting.
He'll be running in first and then something super bizarre will happen and he'll finish 4th.

I have seen some cruel suggestions that it would be entirely befitting of 2020 for Hulkenberg to score his maiden podium only for Renault's protest to be successful and to have it taken away again!
That raises an interesting point though. Should Hulkenberg come in and be anywhere near Stroll then I find it hard to believe Stroll would be picked to partner Vettel over Perez (if that does happen), if Lawrence Stroll is as serious about Aston Martin as he says he is.
It's is Stroll's best chance of a second podium though.
