The director’s idea is to start the championship in France the last weekend of June or in Austria the first weekend of July and then modify some European stages due to the ease of travel and the control of the professionals involved in the category.
“Traveling will be one of the biggest problems, it will involve more people, more contact. In our opinion, it makes sense to start in Europe and there could even be closed doors, to ensure that nobody is contaminated, we would test before and after, an environment with less people and everyone tried it. It is not a great start, but it is better than not running. We have millions watching from home, many are isolated, it is important to give these people some entertainment in the moment of crisis that we are experiencing, but without put nobody The question is that we have to plan everything and then start and follow the championship, without stopping later, “he said in a podcast interview with the British station ‘Sky Sports’.

The English explained that the category does not understand that it is necessary to continue announcing changes in the calendar and, therefore, it should only launch a new version when it already has a real picture of the situation and a more accurate projection than waiting for the rest of the year.
“Our season is longer than other categories, we just postponed Canada, so we thought it was best to wait before reviewing the schedule. Eight races is the minimum to make the championship worthwhile, that would be enough to start in October until. So October is the limit. But there are other variables, maybe until next year, many scenarios. But I think we can have 19 races if we start until the beginning of July, maybe with three weekends and one free ” he continued.
Brawn also admitted that the closed-door scheme makes it difficult to go, for example, to Singapore, where it is much more difficult to control human traffic because it is a street lane.
“Some races are more complicated, like Singapore, because it is on the street, so logistics is very complicated. But others are easier, even isolating and putting doors closed. We have the possibility of doing weekends with two days” . China is a possibility for something like this. Let’s see, we’re still looking into it, but the idea is to allow closed-door racing when it’s safe, “he added.
The projection of F1 is, to a certain extent, quite optimistic, after all, several European countries continue with many cases of COVID-19, such as France, the fourth in the world ranking. In total, the cases already exceed 1.5 million and the deaths of 87 thousand.
