Members of the Formula 1 paddock will be tested for coronavirus every two days during race weekends ꦺonce the championship is able to resume.

With the opening 10 races of 2020 called off due to the ong🎃oing COVID-19 pandemic, F1 is working on plans to start the delayed season behind closed doors with back-to-back races in Austria and Silverstone, beginning with the Austrian Grand Prix o♛n July 5.

The proposal would see F1 create a “biosphere” environment where a trimmed-down number of paddock personnel would undergo fre⛄quent testing for coronavirus to prevent any spread of infection.

F1 managing director of motorsports Ross Brawn said the series is working closely with the FIA to ensure races can go ahead without fans in a safe and cont🍨rolled m🍰anner.

"We're work🌠ing toge📖ther with the FIA, and the FIA are putting together a great structure for what we need,” Brawn told Sky’s F1 Show.

"Everyone [who is entering] will be tested, and will have clearance before they can go in. And then every two d🔜ays they'll be tested whilst they're in the paddo𝕴ck.

🥃"That will be an authorised authority and will be consistent, certainly for all the European races we'll be using the same facilit𒐪y to conduct that testing.

“We can ensure that everybody has been༒ tested who is in that environment [is] tested regularly.”

Brawn revealed that strict restrictions on how people move around the paddock would avoid mixing staff as much as possible, while th🅰e teams will not have their usual motorho🧜me facilities present.

“We'll have 𝄹restrictions on how people move around within the paddock,” he explained.

“We can't have staff that socially distance so we have to create an environment within itself that is effectivel൩y a small bubble of isolation.

"The teams will stay within their own groups. They won't mingle with other teams and they'll stay in their own hotels. There will be no motorhomes the🥃re.

"✃There's a tremendous amount of work going on between ourselves and the FIA and I'm very encouraged by what I'm seeing and what I'm hearing that we'll be able to provid🌌e a safe environment and we can.”

F1 remains hopeful of staging up to 18 races before the end of the year and CEO Chase C𒆙arey said last week the championship is “increasingly confident” about its plans for getting the campaign off the ground in Austria on July 3-5.

An initial blueprint outlꦅined by F1 revealed plans for European rounds to take place across July, August and early September, before events in Asia and the Americas.

The season would then conclude wit꧂h Bahrain and Abu Dhabi acting as the final rounds on thꦑe revamped calendar in December.
