“The other dates of the races do not change,” the promoter said in a brief statement, less than two months before the inaugural test, on March 5 in Bahrain.
The Chinese race, which was to be held on April 16 in Shanghai, was canceled due to “the present difficulties due to the covid-19 situation” in the country, where restrictions were important at the end of the year to fight the pandemic.
The absence of China, for the fourth consecutive time since the start of the pandemic, leaves a gap between the Australian GP, on April 2, and the Azerbaijan GP, on April 30.
