Formula 1 is planning two races in Austria

This is “a real consideration,” said the Briton in the official podcast of the premier class. After all, the race track in Spielberg offers good opportunities to meet the hygiene regulations. One of the “logistical challenges” is “getting everyone tested and cleared to enter the paddock and racing environment,” Brawn said. Once this has been achieved, it will be “very attractive” for Formula 1 to keep everyone involved, such as the drivers around Ferrari star Sebastian Vettel and world champion Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes), as well as team members and other personnel “in this biosphere for another race “. It is clear that the possible season opener in Austria will be a ghost race without fans, as Health Minister Rudolf Anschober recently confirmed. The Hungarian Grand Prix planned for August 2nd will also take place without spectators, as the organizer announced on Friday. Travel restrictions as a challenge At the beginning of the week, Formula 1 announced a rough plan for the season, which is scheduled to start on July 5th in Austria. The final calendar should be published as quickly as possible. Brawn also spoke of “massive” logistical challenges that Formula 1 would face due to the global travel restrictions and other measures imposed due to the pandemic. The premier class is doing everything in its power to ensure that the races can be resumed in a safe environment for everyone involved.
