The organisers of the Monaco Grand Prix say they expect the F1 race in the principality to go ahead despite the ongoing coronavirus fears. Four races have now been postponed due to the outbreak of the virus and the early races in the European leg are looking under threat. 

Despite this, the Monaco organisers are preparing for the race as normal. The race in Monaco has been held every year since 1955 is F1's most visited circuit, but the race this year looks like it could be in trouble.

The Automobile Club de Monaco said in a statement: "Due to the latest developments concerning the increased threat of Coronavirus (COVID-19) and in accordance with Governmental Public Health directives, the Automobile Club de Monaco (ACM) advises that it is now closing its doors to members and the general public.

"The restaurant, the boutique and the ticket office are also closed as of today and until further notice.

"As was communicated in the official press release dated 12th March, the Grands Prix de Monaco Historique (8th to 10th May, 2020) and Formula 1 (21st to 24th May, 2020), are currently expected to take place as originally planned."
