Formula 1 Chinese Grand Prix postponed in wake of deadly coronavirus outbreak

Formula 1 bosses have axed the Chinese Grand Prix in April due to fears over deadly coronavirus outbreak. Chinese Grand Prix in Shanghai was due to host the fourth round of F1’s record-breaking 22-race season on April 19. A statement said: "The FIA, together with the Formula 1, have jointly decided to accept this official request from the promoter and postpone the 2020 FIA Formula 1 Chinese Grand Prix, originally scheduled for 19 April. "The FIA and Formula 1 continue to work closely with the teams, race promoter, CAMF and the local authorities to monitor the situation as it develops. "All parties will take the appropriate amount of time to study the viability of potential alternative dates for the Grand Prix later in the year should the situation improve." Source: The Mirror
