It's not 100% sure . But probably HAM will be replaced by the Belgian Stoffel Vandoorne
Of course as always , Toto has the last word in the whole situation ..
Note : I'm sorry my friend , to hear the bad news regarding HAM !
HAM tested "twice" COVID positive . Damn virus !!!

From what I have read, Stoffel had been schedule to be in Bahrain this weekend anyway after he wrapped up his Formula E testing in Spain.
Something to remember is that Stoffel and Esteban Gutierreze are the official reserve drivers for Racing Point. Despite that, Hulk was chosen to replace Perez and Stroll when they were ruled out of racing earlier this season. I know that in Silverstone Stoffel was unavailable due to other commitments but I dont recall that being the case at the Nurburgring when Hulk subbed in for Stroll. Point being, contracts in F1 dont seem to be more of a guideline
