BBC claim Australian Grand Prix has been postponed due to coronavirus

If Formula 1's situation in Australia was confusing before, it's even more so now. The BBC claim that the Australian Grand Prix has been postponed while we await an official word from Formula 1. 

What we do know is, McLaren will not be racing over the weekend after a team member contracted coronavirus. It remains unclear whether or not the event will run. Free practice 1 is due to go green in less than 12 hours. 

Two senior F1 sources tell BBC Sport the Australian Grand Prix has been called off. No official confirmation yet from F1 or the FIA
