F1 confirms that Chinese language Grand Prix is not going to get replaced and that the 2023 calendar will comprise 23 races.
Regardless of hypothesis that Portugal or Turkey would possibly exchange the cancelled Shanghai race, F1 this morning issued a quick assertion confirming that the 2023 schedule will stay at 23 occasions.
“Components One can affirm the 2023 season will include 23 races,” it learn, “All present race dates on the calendar stay unchanged.”
The Chinese language race was cancelled in December because of the nation’s ongoing COVID coverage. The harsh zero-COVID coverage was subsequently scrapped, however in current weeks a pointy rise in circumstances has been reported.
Political unrest within the face of the zero-COVID coverage is regarded as another excuse F1 opted to cancel the occasion which was final held in 2019.
Cancellation of the occasion means a four-week hole between the Australian and Azerbaijan occasions, which if nothing else will give the groups a breather earlier than the subsequent section of the calendar sees 5 races in six weeks, together with a triple-header involving Imola, Barcelona and Monaco.
