- 2020 season calendar may also be rolled into 2021
- First eight races of the season have been postponed
Shortening a race weekend to two days and running the Formula One season into January next year are among the radical solutions being considered to get the sport racing again, according to Ferrari’s Mattia Binotto.
The first eight races of this year have already been cancelled or postponed because of the coronavirus pandemic and F1’s chief executive, Chase Carey, has insisted the sport is committed to holding a 2020 championship, with the season beginning in the summer under a revised calendar of between 15 and 18 grands prix.
