- Eight F1 races already postponed or cancelled this season
- Pandemic is already affecting other sporting events in July
A decision on whether the British Grand Prix is to be postponed will be be made at the end of April. Silverstone and F1 have issued a joint statement acknowledging that while other major events set for this summer have already been called off, the grand prix – scheduled for 19 July – was not under any logistical pressure to do so immediately.
Eight Formula One meetings have been postponed or cancelled this season because of the coronavirus pandemic but the British Grand Prix remains on the calendar. With the UK still under lockdown Wimbledon, due to start on 29 June, is expected to be the next major event to fall. The Tokyo Olympics, Euro 2020 and the French Open tennis tournament have already been postponed and The Open on 16-19 July at Royal St George’s is also under threat.
