Australian GP boss Andrew Westacott has confirmed that the Australian GP will not accept any medical exceptions for entry to the race.

This confirmation comes after Novak Djokovic had his visa cancelled in part due to his anti vax stance. The tennis star was attempting to enter the country to compete at the Australian Open before having his visa cancelled.

The Australian GP is due to return this year after a two year absence due to Covid.

Westacott confirmed that “The rules are simple to get into the country and the rules are simple to operate in Formula 1. To come in for the event you’ll be 100 percent vaccinated and there won’t be exemptions sought for anyone, from anyone”

The Grand Prix at Albert Park in Melbourne is scheduled for 8th – 10 April.
