F1’s plan to start the season: What we know so far
F1’s has put in place its plan to💜 salvage the 2020 season and return to racing action.
In an update last week, F1 CEO Chase Carey laid out a 168澳洲幸ꩵ运5官方开奖结果历史:blueprint of how the 2020 calendar may look once the campaign can g🧸et underway once it is safe to do so, after the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic forced the first 10 races to be calledꦬ off.

F1’s has put in ꦦplace its plan to s🅠alvage the 2020 season and return to racing action.
In an update last week, F1 CEO Chase Carey laid out a 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:bl꧒u🥂eprint of how the 2020 calendar may look once the campaign can get underway 🧸once it is safe to do so, after the ong🔜oing COVID-19 pandemic forced the first 10 races to be called off.
Plans are in the works for the Austrian Grand Prix to go ahead as scheduled on Julꦆy 3-5 beh꧋ind closed doors.
“We are now inc🎃reasingly confident with the progress of our plans to begin our season this summer,” Carey said.
F1 remains determined to meet its target of staging between 15 and 18 round🗹s by the end of the year and to do so it is considering holding back-to-back rounds. At least eight races across three continents are required to validate a world championship.
The Red Bull-owned Sp𝓡ielberg track is the identified venue to kicksta🐓rt the revamped 2020 schedule with Austria’s government not standing in F1’s way to hold the event.
Austria is likely to follow up the July 5 race with a second event on the following July 12 weekend, before the F1 paddock travels to Great Britain for another double-header at Silverstone on July 19. A final call on Silverstone's hopes to stage multiple races is 168澳洲幸运🥀5官方🐟开奖结果历史:likely to come in the coming weeks following meetings inv☂olving major sports bodies and the government in the UK.
👍Initially held without spectators, the European rounds would take place across July, August and September, before events would follow in Asia and the Am🅠ericas. Bahrain and Abu Dhabi would then form the final two races of the season in December.
Out of the 10 races to be affected so far, the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Monaco and French rounds will definitely not take place a𒁃fter being cancelled altogether, while it is highly unlikely that the Australian Grand Prix, which was abandoned at the 11th hour, will be rescheduled for later in the year.
The Dutch Grand Prix - which was set to return to the F1 calendar for the first time in 35 years this month at a revamped Zandvoort - is likely to be deferred until 2021 following an 168澳洲ဣ幸运5官方开奖结果历史:extended ban on all public events until September 1.
Strict restrictions on public gatherings have also cast doubts over the initial dates for the Hungarian and Belgian rounds, with race organisers at the Hungaroring confirming the event will 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖🥀结果历史:go ahead behind closed doors if at all. Both will surely have to 𒐪be moved to a later date if they are to take place this year.

Monza is the latest venue understood to be keဣen on holding a second F1 race one week after its originally scheduled race on September 6. Automobile Club Italy president Angelo Sticchi Damiani has also dismissed reports the Italian Grand Prix had been cancelled as “fake news”.
If all r🙈ounds could not be💫 completed before the end of 2020, a worst-case scenario could also see races extend into January next year.
F1𓃲 s✱ays it hopes to be in a position to publish a finalised calendar “as soon as we possibly can”.
F1’s to create ‘biosphere’ environment
F1 has outlined a comprehe🍬nsiꦇve plan to create a “biosphere” environment that would include strict testing and social distancing policies to ensure races can take in a safe and controlled manner.
Under the me🧜asures, a trimmed-down number of paddock personnel would undergo frequent testing🍸 for coronavirus to prevent any cases of infection.
"Everyone will be tested, and will have clearance before they can go in," F1 managing direcꦕtor of motorsports Ross Brawn told the F1 Show ea𝓀rlier this week.
"And then every two days, they'll be tested whilst they're🅷 in the paddock."
Restrictions on how people move will also be imposed to avoid mixing staff as much as possible. T𓆉he 10 teams will be kept apart and will stay in different hotels, as opposed to their usual European motorhomes which will not be present in the paddock.
“We'll have restrictions on how people move around wi🥀thin the paddock,” Brawn explained.
“We can't have staff that socially distance so we have to create an environment within itself that is effectively a sma🐓ll bubble of isolation.
"The teams will stay within their own groups. They won't mingle with other teams and they'll stay🅷 in their own hotels. There will be no motorhomꦅes there.
"There's a tremendous amount of work going on between ourselves and the FIA and I'm very encouraged by what I'm seeing a🃏nd what I'm hearing that we'll be able to provide a safe environment and we can.”
Natu꧂rally, all current plans are provisional and F1 could be forced to make further alterations depending on the ever-de💞veloping coronavirus situation and restrictions imposed by national governments.
