Coronavirus: Mercedes F1 to make breathing aid
Thousands of the devices, which deliver oxygen to the lungs without needing a ventilator, could be made.

Yeah its fantastic they are now doing this now that there is no racing.

Same goes with Ferrari here in Italy. Tell me about another country that has masks made by Gucci, hand sanitiser by Bulgari, medical vests by Armani and breathers by Ferrari.

This all goes to confirm that cars are still the finest form of transporting people around that has yet been invented,
Far better than using insanitary, disease spreading and dangerous public transport.

I applaud their efforts completely, but think it was a huge mistake for F1 to go to Oz. This was coming....everyone could see it... Their efforts and focus now are fantastic, but could have been 3 weeks earlier. I hope they can get involved in other innovation and manufacturing now to help in this fight against the virus.
There can be no F1, or other sport really until this virus is beaten all around the planet. Forget this year, forget 2021 IMO, I hope other industries and engineering (aerospace etc) shift their focus to manufacturing things like this, PPE, sanitising equipment, disinfectants /germicides (UV etc) to try to beat this thing in UK then onward around the world.
This is a proper ststorm for the planet, our lives will never be like they were before IMO, but with some real refocussing, they can be great again.
Well done F1 teams, JCB, Dyson, but all the smaller firms refocussing now on basic stuff to keep the people that are not ill safe, that is potentially more important, (PPE manufacturers etc etc).

Known as Cpap, pretty much plugs into existing hospital bed oxygen outlets.
