F1 Singapore Grand Prix is off, as COVID-19 restrictions make it 'impossible' via yahoosg
SINGAPORE — This year’s Formula One Singapore Grand Prix has been cancelled, as restrictions on construction and business activities brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic have made it “impossible” to hold the annual race at the Marina Bay street circuit.
“These and other measures were understandably put in place by the Singapore government and the various authorities to prioritise safety and are targeted to manage the COVID-19 pandemic,” it said in the media release. “These decisions have been taken due to the different challenges our promoters face in those countries,” it said in the media statement.
“While we are disappointed that we won’t be able to host the race this year, we look forward to welcoming fans to the race next season and wish the Formula 1 community well as it starts its season in July,” he said in the Singapore GP media release.
