Melbourne, July 6: The Australian Grand Prix has been cancelled after local organisers and Formula One couldn’t come up with a compromise over Australia’s strict travel and quarantine issues relating to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The race was postponed from its original season-opening spot on the F1 calendar on March 21 and had been rescheduled for November 21.
The 2020 Australian GP at the Albert Park street circuit in Melbourne last March was called off at the last minute at the start of the pandemic.
Formula One has a race scheduled in Sao Paulo, Brazil for November 7, which has left little time for a potential hotel quarantine before the Australian race. (AP)
