Formula 1 drivers set the first race in the 23-race calendar to Melbourne on March 21, while the Bahrain Grand Prix was scheduled to begin a week later, on March 28.

Tickets have yet to go on sale in Australia, and Monday’s press releases have not been officially commented by either Melbourne regulators or the Formula One administration.

The race opening weekend could not have been held last season in Melbourne due to the coronavirus epidemic and it did not happen at a later time, the season could only start in July in Austria, and finally end with 22 instead of 22. There were also two competitions in Bahrain. Last year, the Bahrain Grand Prix in late November, and the Sahara Grand Prix in early December.

Complicating matters further is the fact that seven of the ten Formula 1 teams are headquartered in the United Kingdom, where a new upsurge in the virus has emerged, and the number of positive cases has also increased in recent weeks. Therefore, it is not currently possible to travel from Britain to many countries around the world.
