This season's Japanese F1 Grand Prix gets cancelled again due to covid-19
18 aug. - Formula 1 today has announced that the 2021 Japanese Grand Prix has been cancelled. The race organisers citing "ongoing complexities" related to the Covid-19 pandemic as the reason.
The grand prix was also cancelled last year because of the corona virus situation in Japan. The event was planned to take place in mid-October and was the third event in a planned triple header one week after the Russian Grand Prix and one week before the rescheduled Turkish GP.
On this Wednesday morning it was announced that the race at the Suzuka circuit will not be held for the second time in a row.
A statement from Formula 1 read: "Following ongoing discussions with the promoter and authorities in Japan the decision has been taken by the Japanese government to cancel the race this season due to ongoing complexities of the pandemic in the country."
"Formula 1 is now working on the details of the revised calendar and will announce the final details in the coming weeks."
"Formula 1 has proven this year, and in 2020, that we can adapt and find solutions to the ongoing uncertainties and is excited by the level of interest in locations to host Formula 1 events this year and beyond."
Here you can find the current 2021 Formula 1 schedule.

Is it 'will not be cancelled' as third paragraph, or 'Japanese Government to cancel the race' as in para 4?
Thanks David. We have improved paragraph 3.
Crap, 15000 folks brought in for the Tokyo Olympics and you can't run a ghost in Suzuka? OK, 2d race at COTA 10/17 and if Mexico and Brazil get axed it's off to Sandland for 4-5 races. November is too cold for Euro fill-ins. Big market in F1 for ghutras and byrqas. Sir Lewis has a kiosk at the tracks.
Why not we have Legoland , and Disneyworld, lets have LuluWorld, with a soapbox for Lulu to stand on and to us lesser mortals
Only ShoddyPost could get a LH hate rant in a story about the Japanese race being cancelled. Looking forward to a reply about lack of sense of humour etc.
Nice to see your a fan of my posts f1, i bet they make your day
Sure, I get in my best HAMjab of the year and you get the accolades. I must have been too subtle for the bullet point only readers. Oh well.
Oh dont worry , you Hamjab best is yet to come, then you can really let yourself go to town
It was the "second" event of the triple header, not the third event as stated.
