IN GENERAL

The COVID-19 Code applies to each of the following parties involved in an event: FIA, national motorsport association, organizer, promoter, teams, broadcaster, suppliers,…

Part One Events: Formula One Races

Part Two Events: Competitions in another FIA Championship, cup, trophy, challenge, series, and/or international series registered on the FIA international sporting calendar

Covid-19 Delegate: Person designated by the FIA who is responsible for overseeing the operation of the COVID-19 Code at an event. For Part Two Events, the COVID-19 Delegate will be the FIA Medical Delegate or (if there is no Medical Delegate at the Event) the Chief Medical Officer.

The delegate can eject attendees from events not because of a risk that he/she is or may be infected but instead based on his/her deliberate or serious or repeated breach of the COVID-19 Code.

Profile 1 attendees: enter High Density Areas (paddock, race control,…)

Profile 2 attendees: enter Low Density Areas. They are not allowed to enter High Density Areas
