Formula One - Up And Running

Posted on June 02, 2020

As many sports are able to begin around the World, including supercross in America and Rugby League in Australia, and we continue to get our normal lives back, the F1 season of 2020 will start in a months time in Austria on 5 July, the first of a run of eight races in Europe. 

The Formula 1 championship would begin across three consecutive weekends - two in Austria on 5 and 12 July and a third in Hungary. They will then have two consecutive races in Britain and rounds in Spain, Belgium and Italy. These early events will be run without spectators and under strict guidelines, although there is a chance by September or October spectators will be allowed to be involved.

The British Grands Prix at Silverstone will be held 2 and 9 August, with the Spanish Grand Prix at Barcelona on 16 August. Then we move into the Belgian and Italian Grands Prix on their original dates of 30 August and 6 September. 15 to 18 rounds will be run the F1 organizers have mentioned.

Organizers are also confident China, Vietnam and Japan will be able to make races as those countries continue to remain moving in the right direction as far as the coronavirus is. Those events might happen in October.
