COVID-19: Impact on Sports & Culture (What do I now do on the weekends?)

The revamped European schedule for the 2020 F1 season was released overnight. It will include two races each in Austria and Britain. There will be a limit on the number of pit crew personnel.

In order to limit contact with the public, they are due to be flown on chartered jets as well as staying in block-booked hotels within driving distance of the circuit.
