The last plan of Formula 1 to start the 2020 season in the short term is to start in Austria at the Red Bull Ring, followed by two British Grands Prix at Silverstone.

According to the BBC, Thursday evening during a call between the teams, the FIA and Liberty Media discussed how the 2020 F1 season can start in the short term. Due to the relaxed lockdown measures in Austria, the race in Spielberg in the weekend of July 5 could continue behind closed doors.
 
Formula 1 could also travel to Silverstone after this to drive two Grands Prix without an audience. The plan to drive two races in the United Kingdom is not new. Earlier this month this proposal was already reviewed.
