Hey, all I can tell you is that according to several reports (which might all be quoting the same source - I don't know) the Shanghai track has already re-opened for private events with racing to resume in June. No confirmation if that is to be in front of spectators or not.

Meanwhile, most tracks in North America and Europe remain closed.


Honestly, I don't know why a country would want the F1 circus this year without the economic benefits that the spectators bring.


I haven't dug more deeply into it, but would the new calendar include F2 racing on the same weekends also, or just F1 since the schedule will be very tight?
