Hungarian Grand Prix will also be held behind closed doors
The Hungarian government this week banned events with more than 500 people taking place until August 15th. This year’s Hungarian Grand Prix was scheduled to take place on August 2nd.
F1 is not run for people to go to watch as has been made quite clear. It matters not a jot to the owners whether anyone turns up to see it or not as long as the cameras do. It may be important to the circuit owners but even then I wonder at times.
Zandvoort: F1 without fans "shouldn't cost us any money"
Zandvoort sporting director Lammers said the circuit would only host an F1 race without fans if the sport’s owner, Liberty Media, covered its operational costs to make up for the loss in ticket revenue.
what do we think will happen on the 1st lap & 1 race. will we see mistakes we wouldnt see because of rust & could Leclerc Albon Russell maybe Norris have a advantage over their teammates because they really haven't stopped racing & would be sharper than a Vettel Or Mercedes Duo
Formula 1: British Grand Prix under threat over money
The British Grand Prix is under threat this year because of a financial stand-off between Formula 1 and Silverstone.
...
Hockenheim in Germany is said to be the leading contender to replace Silverstone if an agreement cannot be struck, with Imola in Italy an outside contender.
At the same time, this confrontation did not prevent the 53 Grand Prix were done here.

British Grand Prix: no F1 race without quarantine exemptions
An F1 spokesman said: "A 14-day quarantine would make it impossible to have a British Grand Prix this year.
"Additionally, it has a major impact on literally tens of thousands of jobs linked to F1 and supply chains."
Current plans involve the two races in Austria, then two events at either Silverstone or Hockenheim in Germany if the UK proves impossible.
Have they considered another test day before the first race, these cars haven't turned a wheel for over 3 months wonder with all the development since the last test day they end up slower.
The British GP impact on "literally tens of thousands of jobs linked to F1 and supply chains." is BS and just posturing by Liberty & F1.
UK government should tell them to fuck off. Increase risk of killing thousands? Yeah, let's have a GP...idiots.
No exemptions.
The Premier League attempted to get training back on, with testing for all those involved. It has fallen on its face and, hopefully, will have made everyone realise there is more to life than trivial sporting events.
