Race set for 19 April unlikely to be rescheduledInaugural Vietnam GP on 5 April also in doubtThe Chinese
Grand Prix has been postponed because of the outbreak of the coronavirus. There is a possibility that the race, which was set to take place in Shanghai on 19 April, could be rescheduled for later in the season but it is unlikely. The health threat has also raised doubts about the feasibility of the inaugural Vietnam Grand Prix, which is set to take place on 5 April.
A joint statement from both the FIA and F1 management was released on Wednesday, confirming what had been expected since the coronavirus has spread across China. They acknowledged that the postponement had been at the request of the race promoters.
