Coronavirus: Canadian Grand Prix postponed due to pandemic

The Canadian Grand Prix has been postponed due to the COVID-19  pandemic.

The Montreal-based Formula One race was scheduled to take place June 12-14.

Race organizers said in a statement that they were “saddened” to postpone the race and that the decision was made in consultation with Formula One and representatives from the city of Montreal, Tourism Montreal and provincial and federal governments.

The announcement comes after F1 said it was working with promoters on a revised 2020 schedule.

The Canadian Grand Prix made its debut in 1961 and has, save three separate one-year breaks, been part of the F1 calendar since 1967.
