The Singapore Grand Prix is going according to the BBC not through this year. The English medium reports that the race at the Marina Bay Street Circuit has been canceled and that Formula 1 is already looking for alternatives. F1 and the local authorities are said to have decided that it is not possible to race in Singapore due to the current travel restrictions due to the corna virus.
Last season, the Singapore Grand Prix was also missing from the F1 calendar, which was completely turned over by the corona virus. While the entire circus had already arrived in Melbourne for the first Grand Prix of 2020, the entire season was drawn. F1 then managed to set up an alternative calendar with a number of circuits that have not been visited in recent years. In addition, several circuits that are usually assured of a spot on the calendar were missing, including the Marina Bay Street Circuit.

Turkey and America possible alternatives
Due to the cancellation of the race in Singapore, Formula 1 has to look again for a new event on the F1 calendar, if it wants to stick to a season with 23 races. That seems to be the case, as F1 is reportedly already working on alternatives. One notable option mentioned is Turkey.

Shortly after the announcement of that news, however, the Turkish Grand Prix was canceled again due to poor numbers in the field of the corona virus. In addition to a race at Istanbul Park, a second weekend in America could also be an option. According to the latest reports, the Circuit of the Americas has already offered to organize a second Grand Prix.
