F1: Dutch Grand Prix Cancelled

The revived Dutch Grand Prix will have to wait another year for F1 cars to grace the rebuilt Circuit Zandvoort and its new bankings.

The Netherlands still has very tight restrictions on mass events, and along with the promoters not being keen on a closed doors event due to having sold out several months ago, the cancellation comes as no surprise.

A statement from the organisers says: 

“Due to the worldwide spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) the Formula 1 Heineken Dutch Grand Prix has, as previously announced, been postponed.

“The organization of the Dutch Grand Prix, in consultation with Formula One Management, has had to conclude that it is no longer possible to hold a race with an audience this year.

“Therefore, it has been decided to postpone the race definitively to 2021. Together with the FIA, Formula One Management will determine the schedule for 2021, and with that the new date of the Dutch Grand Prix. Like every year the date will be announced by the FIA by the end of 2020. All tickets remain valid for the new race.”
