“The FIA, teams, promoters, and other key partners have been working with us throughout these steps and we want to thank them for all their support and efforts during this incredibly challenging time. The health and safety of all involved will continue to be priority one and we will only go forward if we are confident we have reliable procedures to address both risks and possible issues. We still have to work out many issues like the procedures for the teams and our other partners to enter and operate in each country. “We expect the early races to be without fans but hope fans will be part of our events as we move further into the schedule. We will publish our finalised calendar as soon as we possibly can. “September, October and November, would see us race in Eurasia, Asia and the Americas, finishing the season in the Gulf in December with Bahrain before the traditional finale in Abu Dhabi, having completed between 15-18 races. We’re targeting a start to racing in Europe through July, August and beginning of September, with the first race taking place in Austria on 3-5 July weekend. “Although this morning it was announced that the French Grand Prix, due to take place in late June, will not be going ahead, we are now increasingly confident with the progress of our plans to begin our season this summer. All of it is still in the planning stage as restrictions continue. It remains to be seen if Australia can happen and or they go to China even plus the weather condition in Canada will play a decisive role, whether it is possible to take place in the latter half of the year. As things stand, only Monaco GP and French GP have been officially cancelled for 2020 and won’t be held before 2021, rest all is classified as postponed. With 15-18 races still on their mind, it could be that some of the circuits stages two races. It looks like the stretch to January 2021 is now off the table. Post that, F1 is looking to host races in Europe until September start, after which they would move to Eurasia, Asia and America, before ending with Bahrain and Abu Dhabi in December. In his latest message, Carey confirms that they are looking to re-start in Austria but did not divulge any further details. The idea was for a double-header, where the second race could take place on a weekday, where both fans and journalists wouldn’t be allowed.
