Formula One staff must be fully vaccinated against Covid-19 under new FIA rules. It is expected that no exemptions will be granted.

The policy drawn up by the sport's governing body will be written into the regulations for the new season and will apply to all drivers, teams, media and hospitality guests. 

The sport hopes the rule will avoid a repeat of the Novak Djokovic fiasco which overshadowed the build-up to this month's Australian Open. All of the grid's current drivers are understood to be vaccinated.
