Formula 1 Ditutup Untuk 5 Minggu Lagi

Pasukan Formula 1 dan FIA telah bersetuju untuk menghentikan semua perlumbaan dan operasi buat sementara waktu selama lima minggu. Ini bermakna bahawa masa paling awal untuk musim ini akan bermula kembali adalah pada 14 Jun di Kanada. Pembuka musim 2020 di Melbourne, Australia dibatalkan pada minit terakhir. Sejak itu, perlumbaan Gran Prix Vietnam, Cina, Belanda, Sepanyol, Azerbaijan dan Kanada semuanya telah ditangguhkan. Monaco Grand Prix dibatalkan sama sekali.

“Berikutan kelulusan oleh Kumpulan Strategik, Suruhanjaya dan semua pasukan Formula 1, Majlis Sukan Motor Dunia telah mengesahkan dengan mengundi keputusan untuk melanjutkan tempoh penutupan Formula 1 dari 21 hingga 35 hari, yang akan diambil pada bulan Mac, April dan / atau Mei, untuk semua pesaing dan pengilang Power Unit … Perbincangan lanjut mengenai topik ini tetap terbuka antara FIA, Formula 1 dan semua tim berdasarkan impak global COVID-19 yang sedang berlangsung. “

Selain daripada pasukan Formula 1 yang disenaraikan untuk penutupan, pengeluar enjin kini juga diminta untuk menangguhkan operasi mereka juga.

Pegawai Formula 1 berharap dapat meraih sekurang-kurangnya 15 perlumbaan daripada musim 2020 walaupun dengan kelewatan ini, tetapi mungkin membincangkan perpanjangan musim ini sehingga 2021 sekiranya ini berkemungkinan.

Formula 1’s rulemakers have approved a motion to extend the shutdown period by a further two weeks, as the world continues to battle the coronavirus pandemic.

Last month, governing body the FIA opted to bring F1’s traditional summer shutdown period forward to the spring and extend it by seven days to three weeks.

On Monday, F1 teams, F1 and the FIA held a conference call to discuss a number of matters, including extending the shutdown period.

The FIA said the Strategy Group, F1 Commission and 10 teams gave unanimous approval to extend the shutdown period from 21 days to 35. The World Motor Sport Council subsequently ratified the decision.

The shutdown means departments such as design, research and development, production and build must down tools. A recent rule change extended the closure to power unit manufacturers, too, as rulemakers moved to cut costs.

Teams can enforce their shutdown in March, April and/or May. Ferrari’s initial three-week period was due to end tomorrow, Wednesday 8 April. Alfa Romeo’s first three weeks, for example, won’t end until April 13th.

The FIA added in their statement: “Further discussions regarding this topic remain open between the FIA, Formula 1 and all teams in light of the ongoing global impact of COVID-19.”
