F1 Australian Grand Prix requires all F1 team members to be vaccinated twice ... Djokovic problem[F1-Gate .com]

The organizers of the F1 Australian Grand Prix said that all F1 drivers and team members must meet the requirement of two doses of the new coronavirus vaccine when the F1 team enters Australia in April this year.

Austria has the issue that Novak Djokovic, the world’s number one player in men’s tennis who refuses to be vaccinated, has his visa revoked by the Australian government to enter the Australian Open and is deported. Has become the subject of global debate.

“This is a big one,” said Andrew Westacott, head of the Australian Grand Prix Corporation, when asked if the same situation could repeat at the F1 Australian Grand Prix, which will be held at Albert Park since 2020. It’s a global story, “commented Sydney Morning Herald.

“There are all sports journalists out there to report with all sports fans around the world, focused on Melbourne, focused on the issue.”

Andrew Westacott believes that the problem was that Djokovic was initially considered to fall under the exception “if the exemption was granted for medical reasons.” The Immigration Minister feared that unvaccinated Djokovic could seduce Australians to refuse the vaccine.

But for F1, he said there was no deportation in the gray zone or last minute, Andrew Westacott.

“Sports and travel delegations are mandatory at entry points and will be compliant at entry points in Australia and Melbourne.”
