Uncertainty weighs on the Singapore Grand Prix

If we are still waiting for the official timetable for the resumption of the F1, the Singapore Grand Prix held on the Marina Bay street circuit may well not be part of Liberty Media's new program.

“The 2020 season calendar is being finalized and the Singapore Grand Prix is ​​maintaining an open dialogue with F1, the Singapore Government and stakeholders during this period, to evaluate different possibilities, thus specifies a spokesperson cited by The Straits Times.

The top priority remains the well-being and safety of our fans, volunteers and all Singaporeans. Sufficient lead time to complete the construction of the various components must be taken into account and the works generally require three months to complete.

This will depend on whether these activities are permitted under applicable government regulations. »

There is also the question of closed doors, which should be the rule for the first events of the resumption of motorsport championships, as should be the case in Austria or in England in F1.

“[It is] impossible to carry out the race behind closed doors. » indicates the spokesperson for the event on this question. Another potential problem for the presence of the night meeting on the 2020 calendar.
