Sergio Pérez missed the last two World Cup races, both at British Silverstone, after being infected by the new corona virus, but is now ready to drive, his stable Racing Point states.

German Nico Hülkenberg has been the one to replace Sergio Pérez, and finished in a nice seventh place in last weekend's competition.

Britain's Lewis Hamilton has won three of the season's five GP races and tops the World Cup table with 107 points. Max Verstappen, the Netherlands, is second with 77 points and Valtteri Bottas, Finland, is third with 73 points.
