Canada postponed due to coronavirus
The coronavirus is currently occupying the whole world. Many countries are in a complete lockdown and others are setting up different rules to combat the COVID-19 virus. Major events such as the European Football Championship and the start of the Formula 1 season have already been postponed and now the Canadian GP can't get away from it either.
With this, the start of the F1 season of 2020 will be postponed even further. After the season seemed to start in Australia, things went fast for F1. Where for a moment it looked like a normal start, now the first nine races have been postponed and it might not even stay that way. For now the start of the season will be on June 28th: The French Grand Prix on the circuit of Paul Ricard.
