Formula E extends season suspension to June

Formula E has anღnounced its suspension of the 2019-2020 season will be extended until the end of June due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

The championship had already enforced a two-month break frꦏom racing as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak in M𝐆arch, but the situation has now changed with no immediate improvement in sight.

June and July ♛had initially been labelled as green flag months under Formula E’s colour coded suspension system, but June has since been downgraded to a red status, while July has changed to yellow.

The alteration means the Berlin E-Prix - which was due ꦫto take place on June 21 to restart the seaso🐽n - has been officially postponed.

Formula E’s planned f♑inal rounds in New Yorꦡk and London in July are also in doubt given the city’s respective situations regarding coronavirus.

The scheduled double-header 🔜season-finale event at London’s ExCel Centre on July 25-26 has question marks hanging over it with the venue currently acting as a temporary hospital to treat co♊ronavirus patients.

"With strict containment measures continuing to be put in place globally by governments to limit the spread of the coronavirus pandemic, Formula E together with the FIA have jointly decided to extend the season suspension until at least the end o🌠f June,” A Formula E statement read.

"Formula E and the 🐎FIA continue to use its flag-based system to determine the status of each race.

"A red flag repജresenting that no races will happen, a yellow flag indicating a time window to potentialꦜly restart racing and a green flag meaning we are ready to race again.

"We can now confirm that red flags have been applied to the months of May and June, meaning the Berlin E-Prix can no longer take place as originally🎃 planned on June 21.

"July has now become a yel෴low flag month, with the opportunity to host events or reschedule races remaining open should the coronavirus sit🐽uation stabilise.”
