A calendar with perhaps we have a double Austrian and British Grand Prix seemed an option, but the opposite seems rather true. According to Derek Warwick, the British Grand Prix will be postponed.

That's what the former Formula 1 driver told Racefans.net. In an interview with the medium, the former president of the British Racing Drivers' Club is open to the situation around the Grand Prix at the Silverstone circuit.

Little hope for Silverstone

"It's gonna be tough for Silverstone if we have to cancel the event. Now that it seems we won't be on top of it in July, the Grand Prix will of course be postponed. Hopefully we will get a new place on the calendar. The postponement of this race is going to hit the circuit very hard financially'', Warwick said.

The question is of course in what form Formula 1 wants to race again. Is it with or without an audience and can the latter start before the virus is completely out of the world? It's a big problem for Formula 1 if it isn't, because teams and circuits are about to fall because of the coronavirus and the lack of income.
