Coronavirus: Panic on every side, Formula 1 race is postponed

The Times reported, under which “decision was made not to develop what would be the fourth season race on April 19th in Shanghai”.

As the death toll increases in China every day, the leaders of the F1 have made the decision to cancel the race in Shanghai, although the Times says “coordinates will continue whether to postpone the race or completely cancel”.

The challenge facing the F1 is that with the record Grand Prize calendar this season of 22 races, there is little or no opportunity to rebuild the race.

The English daily writes that if an effort had been made to restore China's Grand Prix in the second half of the season, “this could lead to three or four successive weekend races, something the teams would probably object to. ”

The F1 cannot endanger the health of professionals and the public - the main factor behind the decision is not only of health but also of a security nature.

So much so that, according to the motorsport, doubts have also begun to filter over the Vietnam Grand Prize dispute that should be held two weeks ago in Hanoi: this race will be debuting of Forum 1 and any annulment would be a major problem for organisers.
