Coronavirus postpones Dutch, Spanish Grands Prix, cancels Monaco Grand Prix

It looks like the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic has affected the European leg of the 2020 Formula 1 season after all as the Dutch Grand Prix, due to return to the calendar for the first time since 1985 from May 1 to 3 in Zandvoort has been postponed, as well as the Spanish Grand Prix scheduled a week later. As for the Monaco Grand Prix set on May 21 to 24, the race has been cancelled, marking the first time since 1954 that F1 will not race in the Principality. Originally, much like the Dutch and Spanish Grands Prix, it was also supposed to be postponed but race organizer Automobile Club de Monaco (ACM) chose to cancel it, citing numerous reasons, such as "the pressure on all implicated businesses, their dedicated staff who are unable to undertake the necessary installations, the availability of the indispensable workforce and volunteers (more than 1.500) required for the success of the event means that the situation is no longer tenable."

According to the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) and the Formula 1 Group, the organizer of the Formula 1 World Championship, they "continue to work closely with affected promoters and local authorities to monitor the situation and take the appropriate amount of time to study the viability of potential alternative dates for each Grand Prix later in the year should the situation improve."

Both parties also "expect to begin the 2020 Championship season as soon as it is safe to do so after May and will continue to regularly monitor the ongoing COVID-19 situation."
