Red Bull Motorsports' Helmut Marko told drivers to get infected with COVID-19?

Red Bull Motorsports boss Helmut Marko wants his drivers to be infected with the coronavirus while the Formula 1 season is on hold, according to BBC's Andrew Benson.

Marko said he wants to bring his team together in camp because it would be a great time for infection.

"They are all strong young men in good health. That way they would be prepared whenever the action starts," the 76-year-old said.

Everyone else on Red Bull's management team was against the idea, and thus it will not happen — thankfully.

The start of the F1 season is in jeopardy due to the coronavirus pandemic, and the first eight races have been called off with the possibility of events in June and July being canceled as well.
