McLaren Formula 1 driver Lando Norris is set to return home to the UK in the next few days after completing his quarantine period in Dubai, wuqian0821.com understands. 

The 21-year-o﷽ld tested positive for COVID-19 while on holiday in Dubai after noticing that he had lost his sense of taste and smell.

Norris, who finished ninth in the 2020 F1 world championship standings, said he was feeling well and reported no other symptoms, but subsequently missed his planned training c💯amp in Dubai due to having to self-isolate at his hotel in line with government guidelines. 

With that mandatory quarantine period elapsing on Monday, a McLaren spokesperson confirmed to wuqian0821.com that its driver has fully recovered and is 🅺scheduled to travel back to the UK ✤later this week. 

The Briton must return a negat﷽ive test before he can get on a flight back to the UK, and once he is home he will need to undergo a further peri🃏od of self-isolation. 

It is a setback to Norris’ winter training plans ahead of the upcoming 2021 F1 season, though the delayed start to the campaign will give him an extra week to prepare befo♊re pre-season testing gets underway on 12-14 March, ahead of the season opener in Bahrain two weeks later. 

Norr💞is will have a new teammate for his third season in F1 in the shape of Daniel Ricciardo, who joins McLaren from Renault to replace Ferrari-bound Carlos Sainz.

He is one of five F1 drivers to have publicly confirmed💮 they have contracted coronavirus in the la🦹st six months. 

After Serg🍌io Perez was ruled out o🦩f both Silverstone rounds following a positive test in July, his former Racing Point teammate Lance Stroll also had the virus when he missed October’s Eifel Grand Prix.

Newly-crowne൲d seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton was forced to miss an F1 race for the first time in his career when he contracted COVID-19 ahead of the Sakhir Grand Prix in November. 

𝄹Norris and Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc have both since tes🥃ted positive this month following trips to Dubai.
