The Singapore Grand Prix has been cancelled, as Formula One bosses work frantically to stop their planned 23-race programme from shattering. Races in Japan, Brazil, Mexico and Australia are also in jeopardy for various Covid-related reasons. Formula One are working on contingencies including potential rounds in Turkey, China and a second race in Austin, Texas – though these are hardly fail-safe options. Should either country be put on the UK's 'red list', then it would plunge the schedule into even more doubt given most of the F1 teams are based in Great Britain. Australia's plans for their November 21 race in Melbourne currently allow only fully-vaccinated personnel being allowed to travel to and participate in the autumn meet.
