Red Bull motorsport boss Helmut Marko said he advised his drivers to become infected with coronavirus while the season is in hiatus.
The 76-year-old said he had the idea to bring his Formula 1 drivers and juniors together in a camp, which "would be the ideal time for the infection to come".
"They are all strong young men in good health. That way they would be prepared whenever the action starts," he said.
The rest of Red Bull management were against the idea, which was abandoned.
There is a growing understanding among Scottish football clubs that finishing the season is becoming increasingly unlikely due to the spread of Covid-19.
Each SPFL side has at least eight games outstanding and the governing bodies are taking legal advice about the best way to conclude the current campaign.
The English Premier League are reportedly exploring a televised, behind-closed-doors event this summer.
However, that is considered fanciful by senior figures in Scotland.

His daughter Laura shared the news, saying the 69-year-old had been healthy enough to play shows a few weeks ago.
"He played down the 'cold' he thought he had," she wrote, before warning other families not to be complacent.
"You don't think It'll happen to you or your strong family. It has," she wrote. "Stay home if not for you, for others. For my dad. This thing is real."
I Love Rock 'N' Roll became a global hit for Joan Jett in 1982 and has been covered by artists ranging from Britney Spears to Weird Al Yankovic.
A parody version, I Love Sausage Rolls, was last year's Christmas number one in the UK, with proceeds going to charity.

Barrow could be voted back into the English Football League if the season is not finished, 48 years after they were removed, says director Levi Gill.
Barrow are four points clear at the top of the National League and pursuing a return to the EFL, having failed to win re-election to Division Four in 1972.
But the National League has asked the Football Association to close the rest of the campaign because of coronavirus.
"We would first need to be recognised as champions," Gill told BBC Sport.
He says that decision will fall to the National League and could be decided either by taking the current standings or deciding them on a points-per-game basis, if their remaining nine fixtures cannot be completed.

Brighton Women's manager Hope Powell says all players and coaches "want the Women's Super League season to finish" but the health and safety of everyone involved is "absolutely paramount".
The Football Association is determined to complete the campaign but wants it concluded by early August.
