As expected, the season-opening Australian Grand Prix has been postponed, the F1 field will start in Bahrain this year, and the Hungarian race will take place on 1 August.
According to the announcement of the World Cup owners on Tuesday, besides Melbourne, the Chinese Grand Prix will not be held on the originally scheduled date of April 11, but as long as the Australian race has a new date (November 21), the fate of the latter is questionable.
Imola has been added to the calendar as a new venue to replace the race that was dropped out in April, but the Italian station will not be hosting the field on April 11, but a week later.
The originally scheduled schedule for the season, which is still scheduled for 23 races, also included an unnamed match, which remained in the program, but the date for that grand prize was changed from April 25 to May 2.
Due to the race in Melbourne in November, the last two races will be postponed by a week, with the final stop taking place on 12 December in Abu Dhabi.
The changes will not affect the other competitions, so the Hungarian Grand Prix can take place on August 1.
"The season is off to a busy start, but we are pleased to announce that the number of races will not change," quoted Stefano Domenicali, the new CEO of Formula 1, as saying. "The epidemic situation does not allow us to return to normal, but that we can safely hold competitions when we first launched our series on the international stage. We have the experience and the plan to conduct this year's competition. "
The sports manager also said they are confident that spectators will be able to return to the stands as soon as possible.
