Formula 1 ban for unvaccinated Nico Rosberg

Former world champion Nico Rosberg is no longer allowed in the Formula 1 paddock due to a lack of corona vaccination.

Therefore, the 36-year-old can only do his job as a TV expert away from the racetracks to a limited extent.

“I survived a corona disease well and therefore have monster antibodies in me. I also have my antibodies tested regularly,” Rosberg explained on “Sport1” for not vaccinating against the corona virus.

His doctor advised him “that vaccination would make absolutely no sense”.

Formula 1 has once again tightened the access rules for the paddock this season. While a negative PCR test was sufficient in the pre-season, full vaccination is now mandatory.

Formula 1: Nico Rosberg rejected in Monaco

Otherwise, those affected must present a medical exemption. Apparently, however, Rosberg cannot prove this.

When the former Mercedes driver tried to enter the paddock in his adopted home of Monaco, he was rejected, according to “Sport1”.

The British television station “Sky Sports” therefore had to switch the 2016 world champion back to the TV broadcast from his apartment.
