The three Grands Prix were promptly postponed due to the corona crisis, but postponement has come to an end for these races. Formula 1 announced on Friday that the Grands Prix of Azerbaijan, Singapore and Japan will definitely not be on the 2020 F1 calendar.
“This decision was made because of the problems facing the Grand Prix organizers in those countries. For Singapore and Baku, building a street circuit is not possible in these uncertain times, while entry restrictions are the biggest stumbling block for the Japanese GP . “
Despite this setback, which is not entirely unexpected, it remains hopeful that a worthy Formula 1 calendar can be put together: “We have already made great strides and the interest from new potential racing locations is great.”
“We understand that these are always difficult and complex times and we approach 2020 with due caution and flexibility. However, our plans to ensure safety are strong and we will start the season as safely as possible.”
