For this reason, Liberty Media has a replacement for Monaco, Azerbaijan and Canada in case this season cannot be held. Precisely due to the coronavirus, the Chinese Grand Prix has been replaced by the Imola one in the 2021 calendar. World Cup has not been able to start with the Australian Grand Prix as planned.Although it was not raced in Melbourne in 2020 due to the pandemic, this season has been delayed in the calendar due to the latest outbreaks in the capital of Victoria. Although the Australian Tennis Open was maintained, the participating tennis players had to remain in quarantine for two weeks. The Formula 1 Grand Prix, meanwhile, has not been able to stay on schedule as it is held in the middle of a park, making it more difficult to control the flow of fans. “The vaccine will be good for the whole planet. But there are potential changes in the different calendars, not just Formula 1.
