Red Bull Racing would have liked to race in Australia but were unable to do so because the race was cancelled. Now one even has to have a summer break at the beginning of the season and Christian Horner is disappointed.

"Everyone in F1 has been working hard this week as a collective to do the right thing given the unprecedented circumstances all of us are currently facing.
Numerous measures have been put in place to make sure that when we return to racing, we do so safely for our fans, the F1 workforce and the communities we visit," Horner said on his own Instagram. 

F1 rules postponed for a year

It was announced on Thursday that the Grands Prix of the Netherlands and Spain have been postponed, where the Monaco Grand Prix has even been cancelled. The technical regulations for 2021 have also been moved to 2022, while the budget cap for 2021 will be maintained.

"We therefore fully support the measures that the FIA and F1 have put in place, including the postponement of the introduction of the 2021 Technical regs until 2022.
Currently, at Red Bull Racing, we are focusing on making sure we have all the best possible measures in place to ensure the health and wellbeing of our staff and their families," Horner added. 

"Like all fans, we share the disappointment that we are unable to race and further Grands Prix have been postponed or cancelled, like the #MonacoGP, but this pandemic transcends our sport and change is a necessity given the current global situation. Rest assured that once the season does begin, it will be one to remember."
