(UTV | COLOMBO) – Formula 1 could still hold a world championship this year even if the season cannot start until October, managing director Ross Brawn says.
Brawn said F1 was looking at closed-door races as a way to start the season once the coronavirus crisis eases and “every permutation is being discussed”.
F1 must run eight races for a season to be classed as a world championship.
“If you wanted a drop-dead point (deadline), it would be October,” Brawn said.
“But then there’s always the possibility we could run into next year, and that’s being explored – could we stray into January to finish the season.”
