Formula 1 has canceled the 2023 Chinese Grand Prix that was scheduled for mid-April next year “due to the ongoing difficulties presented by the COVID-19 situation.”
The cancellation comes as China continues to enforce a zero-Covid policy, ultimately leading to heavy restrictions and continued lockdowns.
The zero-Covid policy would ultimately cause unnecessary havoc, forcing the sport to concede it would not be feasible to hold a race that usually attracts large crowds with many employees from each team having to travel through the county. The race next year would have been the return of the Chinese Grand Prix since the last one in 2019, before the Chinese coronavirus pandemic.
The absence of the race now leaves a roughly four-week gap between the Austrian Grand Prix on April 2 in Melbourne and the Azerbaijan Grand Prix on April 30 in Baku. BREAKING: Formula 1 has cancelled the 2023 Chinese Grand Prix, as a result of the country’s strict Covid policies.
