At the really least, all 3 of these races need to be on the interesting side, while fans will also exist at the race in Portugal, according to The Guardian. Heres how the rest of the 13-race season is shaping up, for now:.
Imola, naturally, has some unpleasant history, being the track where both Ayrton Senna and Roland Ratzenberger had deadly crashes in 1994. The San Marino Grand Prix there last occurred in 2006.
The Nürburgring last hosted an F1 race in 2013, while Portimão is completely brand-new, and likewise pretty new as far as Formula One racetracks in Europe go, having only been completed in 2008.
The number of coronavirus cases has actually remained high in the United States, Brazil, and, to a somewhat lesser extent, Mexico. The variety of cases in Canada, on the other hand, looks more like the lower numbers Europe is seeing, but Im assuming this was all not entirely since of those numbers however also the large logistics of travel.
Thats since instead of those races, Formula One stated it would remain on the continent.
We can validate that Portimão, Imola and Nürburgring will each host Grands Prix this October. We are thrilled to welcome Portimão as a totally brand-new circuit to the Formula 1 season as well as inviting back Imola and Nürburgring, circuits that have actually hosted World Championship races in the past.
The additional 3 rounds announced on Friday extends this seasons revised calendar to 13 races, with 2 grands prix at Silverstone (2-9 August), and one in Spain (16 August) forming the next triple header.
There will likewise be rounds in Spa-Francorchamps (30 August), Monza (6 September), Mugello (13 September) and Russia (27 September). There stays hope a first race in Vietnams capital Hanoi can be scheduled mid-November.
The campaign is set to end with three successive rounds in the Middle East– with Bahrain to host two races prior to the Abu Dhabi season more detailed in December.
