Until it's on Autosport, it's not official.

Was just on the TV news, majority of teams refuse to race.

Promoters wanting the FIA to cancel so they can claims costs back from them, FIA wanting government or more teams to cancel so they dont need to cover costs?

As normal it's all about money, and not common sense.

It's crazy, take a pool of people from multiple countries, stick them on a few aircraft for 16 hours, live in hotels and work in a pit line for 4 days, mix with media, fans and VIP guests, then repeat every two weeks.

Sports version of a superspreader, must not cancel at all costs, even if it screws the fans and participants. $$$

So apparnetly there was a vote on if they race or not and that ended 5-5 could see an indy 2005 situation all over again

Might only be a 12 car race this weekend if it happens as only Alfa Romeo, Haas, Racing Point, Williams, AlphaTauri and Red Bull have arrived at the circuit this morning for the end of curfew
