Coronavirus: Bahrain F1 GP to be held with no spectators

According to a statement from the Bahrain International Circuit, the 2020 Formula 1 Bahrain Grand Prix will be a participants-only event due to the global coronavirus outbreak. There will be no spectators in the stands and the race weekend will go ahead as a televised event.

The Kingdom of Bahrain took the decision after consulting the national health taskforce and international partners. The race weekend would have seen thousands of international as well as local race fans in close proximity.

The Chinese Grand Prix, which was scheduled to be held between April 17-19, 2020, has been postponed due to the outbreak.
