It's buzzing with rumors around the Formula 1 calendar. The calendar currently consists of thirteen races, all taking place in Europe. According to new rumours, the Formula 1 circus will then go to Asia.

In Asia there will be a race in Malaysia and Vietnam, according to a source opposite Race fans. Malaysia is said to be spicy because the organizers have lost their place on the calender since 2018. Max Verstappen will therefore remain the last winner of the Grand Prix in 2017.

According to Race fans, Vietnam is still trying to get a spot on the calendar. The new circuit in Hanoi would be visited for the first time this year, but because of the corona pandemic nothing is certain anymore. The Formula 1 organisation is watching a couple of races in Asia, including Malaysia, Vietnam.

Calendar 2020

Never before has the calendar been as uncertain as this year. Where normally years of negotiations are needed to get a place on the prestigious calendar, this year it is all different. Circuits where the door seemed to be closed suddenly qualify for a Grand Prix. It gives a special touch to this year.

Last week it became clear that the Nürburgring and Imola will return once on the Formula 1 calendar. Together with the Portimao announcements the number of races this year is thirteen. To be continued.
