It seems that the coronavirus may again spoil a number of races this season. The Grands Prix of Monaco, Azerbaijan and Canada are in jeopardy and it seems that there will be no such races this year.
Many changes after initial calendar
The first calendar presented by Formula 1 consisted of 23 races. Not much later it released a revised calendar without China and moves Australia to late in the season. The omission of China means a return of the Grand Prix at Imola.
This is not the end of the changes to the calendar. Formule1.nl reports that the races of Monaco, Azerbaijan and Canada will disappear in 2021. These are street circuits where the construction of the track starts months before the race.
The replacements are already there
Despite the disappearance of the circuits, Formula 1 already seems to have found replacements. Like last year, Istanbul Park, Mugello and Nurburging are candidates to fill the empty slots. The empty ‘TBC’ slot seems to go to Portimao.
