Daniel Ricciardo believes that the Australian Grand Prix shouldn't go ahead unless all of the teams and drivers are present. There have been widespread fears over the Coronavirus and it is still uncertain as to what is going to happen.
“The race can’t go ahead without a full grid. I don’t think it would be right to race without all ten teams and all 20 drivers," Ricciardo told the Sydney Morning Herald.
“If, say, Ferrari and Alpha Tauri couldn’t compete and we went ahead, it wouldn’t be fair on them. It’s not like they’d been disqualified from racing for, say, a technical infringement. It just wouldn’t be right.
“Winning a race like that... it’s not the way any of us would want to win. Say there was a reason why Ferrari, Mercedes and Red Bull weren’t coming and then I won in Melbourne… it would be a shallow victory and it wouldn’t mean anything.”
There is a major outbreak of the virus in Itlay and many flights have been canceled. It will be interesting to see what the FIA decides to do.
