Formula One's Chinese Grand Prix now slated for October 4

BEIJING: Formula One's 2020 Chinese Grand Prix now looks set to take place on October 4, after the sport released its latest version of its 2020 schedule. Originally slated for April 19, the Chinese Grand Prix was the first race of 2020 to be postponed as the country battled the COVID-19 outbreak, reports Xinhua news agency. The global pandemic has decimated the F1 calendar, with the season's first ten races having either been delayed or cancelled outright. F1's revised calendar puts the Chinese Grand Prix as the 11th race of 19 scheduled, and sees it coincide with the country's week-long National Day holiday celebrations. The race at the Shanghai International Circuit will take place one week before the Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka, which retains its original date of October 11. IANS
