The pandemic has caused real havoc in the motor world. Formula 1 seems to start next month, and it will do so with an official calendar that has now been approved. The expected date will be July 5, where the engines will sound again at the Austrian GP. Great news for all motorsport fans who have been waiting for so long and settling for the eSports races that are taking place.
Also, you should know that there will be the Spanish GP, and it will be on August 16. Something totally atypical and with very high temperatures on the track for that date, but it is what it is and what the SARS-CoV-2 has caused. It has also been learned that the events will be held behind closed doors, and that other events that have not yet been confirmed will be canceled or approved depending on the evolution of the pandemic around the world.
For the moment, teams, FIA and Liberty Media have agreed on the start, and have only chosen to announce the european tour racing, which seems to be the continent that is now in a better position to provide the necessary guarantees (despite the fact that it has been one of the most shaken). As Chase Carey himself has said "In recent weeks we have worked tirelessly with all our partners, the FIA and teams, to create a revised version of the start of the 2020 season calendar. A calendar that will allow us to compete in the safest way possible.. "
