Teams have been returning to work at their factories following a mandatory shutdown period over the past two weeks, and Mercedes carried out a test at Silverstone with a 2018 car – using race drivers Valtteri Bottas and Lewis Hamilton – on Tuesday and Wednesday in order to understand how it can maintain social distancing, or where it needs protective measures when it returns to action.
