F1 is planning to start its 2020 season on 5 July in Austria - despite the French Grand Prix becoming the 10th race this year to be postponed or cancelled
"We expect the early races to be without fans but hope fans will be part of our events as we move further into the schedule.
"The health and safety of all involved will continue to be priority one and we will only go forward if we are confident we have reliable procedures to address both risks and possible issues." For the moment, the British Grand Prix will go ahead on 19 July but Silverstone's owners said that a race"under normal conditions is just not going to be possible" in announcing a decision to keep supporters away.
So far three Grands Prix have been cancelled - Australian, Monaco, French - and seven postponed - Bahrain, Vietnamese, Chinese, Dutch, Spanish, Azerbaijan, and Canadian.Meanwhile, Arsenal have reopened their London Colney training ground to first team players for individual training as the Premier League club continued to observe social distancing protocols.
Clubs expect to return to full training next month while Sky Sports reported the league is looking at a potential restart in June with an eye on finishing the remaining nine rounds of fixtures in July - all behind closed doors.
