F1 bans Rosberg from paddock for not having COVID vaccine
Jun.10 - 2016 world champion Nico Rosberg has been banned from Formula 1 for refusing to take the covid-19 vaccines.
Viewers of Sky Deutschland's F1 coverage in Monaco wondered why the 36-year-old was reporting from his nearby apartment rather than joining his colleagues in the paddock.
His ban, in accordance with the sport's controversial mandatory vaccination policy, is despite the fact that his 2016 title granted him a paddock pass for life.
"I recovered well from the corona disease and therefore have strong antibodies," Rosberg told Sport1. "I also have my antibodies tested regularly.
"Under these circumstances, my doctor advised me that vaccination would make absolutely no sense."

He was in the Monaco paddock earlier on the weekend, but I'm surprised if he truly hasn't got a single dose taken at any point since vaccination began.
Why are you surprized?
Because I thought everyone would've got three doses by now.
Quote from Rosberg - ‘it’s really good to have beaten Covid 19 but what else is good is beating Lewis in 2016’
Yes, great win vs Lewis. Only one to do it over 9 years.
Amazing feat to beat the new GOAT!
Well well well. As I'm clearly no fan of this lucky one hit wonder, I figured he was at least smarter than this. So I'm surprised but couldn't care less. Anti vax dingbats come in all stripes.
Much appreciation for everyone who had the wisdom and the balls(or spine) to get vaccinated and play their part in the collective curbing of the pandemic. 👍
He's well smarter than you
Oh no, not another vaccination argument.
Surprised Mohammed had the balls to stop him... Can't even stop a nose piercing.
A non story, so he will have the Jab and return, thread finished
yeah but it won't be the same stuff the cattle get
Bet 100 Quid he win't
i totally agree
eating plant burgers to appease the pc crowd is one thing but this is a completely different beast
The vaccine doesn’t stop getting Covid, it just lessens the symptoms. If he wears a mask, he is not a spreader. People are who are vaccinated and boosted are still getting Covid. So what is the ban going to do? I’m not anti vax just think his ban is an overreaction.
Hi , Is that my private Dr , yeah just write me an exemption will you/ or as I say hell have the jab
Not saying its right , but thats his call
At this stage of the Covid 19 pandemic, I completely agree that the vaccine will serve no purpose except to partially protect the person who gets the jabs. If we've concluded that an unvaccinated person's Covid 19 is more transmissible than the person who has had the jabs, then asking Nico to stay away is silly. I had my three shots with the last one being a double dose, and two weeks after the last shot, I ended up with a nuisance of an after-effect which is still present five months later. Knowing that I would still get the vaccine but now remain a bit more sympathetic towards those who demur.
The rules are for all not just for me rich and famous to flaunt
Covid is contracted in a number of ways and not just by airborne transmission
The numbers of mask wearers who caught the disease is frightening people are still dying
Good decision FIA
Vaccines. So very last year
Looks like sergie perez has got the bit between his teeth this year donnit.
