Singapore called off its hosting of the Formula One Grand Prix race in October amid the pandemic, even while some other worse-hit countries keep plans to hold theirs as nations diverge on re-opening borders and carrying out large-scale events.
The cancellation for a second year is due to “ongoing safety and logistic concerns brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic,” promoter Singapore GP Pte said Friday. Formula One reiterated it will continue to work with all promoters during this “fluid time and have several options for additional races.” It didn’t elaborate.
