Hà Nội’s F1 may be held in November
HÀ NỘI — The Việt Nam Formula One Grand Prix could take place this year – but without any international spectators.
Organisers of the race, which should go ahead in April but was cancelled due to the COVID- 一 九 pandemic, are looking at ways it can be held.
Plans may be submitted to Hà Nội’s People’s Co妹妹ittee and the International Automobile Federation (FIA) to host the race in November, if a number of safety conditions can be met.
Formula One CEO Chase Carey recently discussed plans to host races in Austria, England, Spain, Germany and the Netherlands.
The Austrian F 一 race has been agreed in principle to happen on July 五, pending government approval. In the UK, the race may also go ahead if teams isolate for 一 四 days before.
If the race in Việt Nam is held behind closed doors, organisers face losing as much as $ 三 五 million (VNĐ 七00- 八00 billion) in revenue so instead they are looking at allowing local race fans entry.
International supporters who had previously booked tickets for the April meet were given a full refund. — VNS
