    Three more Formula 1 races get canceled amid COVID-19 pandemic
  • Three Formula 1 2020 races - Azerbaijan, Singapore and Japan - have been canceled from the schedule owing to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.

    However, F1 remain confident of finalizing a schedule of between 15 and 18 races for this year.

    There is interest from new venues which are not on the original calendar.

    Here are further details on the same.

    "These decisions have been taken due to the different challenges our promoters face in those countries."

  • An initial eight-race calendar in Europe has already been announced.

    F1 is expecting to publish a new full schedule next month.

    "We have made significant progress with existing and new promoters on the revised calendar and have been particularly encouraged by the interest that has been shown by new venues in hosting a Formula 1 race during the 2020 season," the statement added.

  • "These decisions have been taken due to the different challenges our promoters face in those countries. In Singapore and Azerbaijan the long lead times required to construct street circuits made hosting the events during a period of uncertainty impossible and in Japan, ongoing travel restrictions also led to the decision not to proceed with the race," the statement read.

  • On Thursday F1 chief Ross Brawn explained that the plan for the second half of the season is coming together.

    "Things are moving fast, but we still have time," he said.

    "We have lots of different options and we're very confident we're going to have a great second half of the season."
