F1 2020 calendar to be 'published in due course'

Formula 1 are working with the race promoters to produce a new calendar for the 2020 season, one that will likely 'differ significantly from our original 2020 calendar'.

In a statement, Formula 1 confirm that a revised calendar for 2020 will almost certainly see the season continue past the original November 29 end date.

"At this time no-one can be certain of exactly when the situation will improve, but when it does, we will be ready to go racing again. We are all committed to bringing our fans a 2020 Championship Season.

"Formula 1 is currently working with our Promoters on a revised 2020 calendar with the actual sequence and schedule dates for races likely to differ significantly from our original 2020 calendar. This will be published in due course.

"As previously announced, we will utilise the summer break being brought forward to March/April to race during the normal summer break period, and anticipate the season end date will extend beyond our original end date of 27-29th November."

GPFans Formula 1 correspondent Ian Parkes has already attempted to compile a provisional calendar based on a July starting date, his proposition running into January and featuring three triple-headers.
