Formula One has told Formula1News.co.uk<\/a> that reports this year\u2019s Canadian and Brazilian Grand Prix are likely to be cancelled are false.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier, the Spanish edition of Motorsport.com<\/a> reported that Formula One is considering holding another race in Bahrain this season and could also arrange a grand prix in Istanbul amid uncertainty over the Canadian and Brazilian Grand Prix due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It claimed that there are serious concerns over the viability of these two grand prix due to Canada requiring anyone who enters the country to self-isolate for two weeks and with Brazil currently having the highest COVID-19 death toll of any country in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The publication added that, if Formula One returns to Bahrain for another race this season, it would be on the so-called \u201couter circuit\u201d, not the same grand prix track F1 raced at last weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The provisional 23-race 2021 calendar was already hit with disruption earlier this year, with the season-opener in Melbourne being pushed much later into the season and the Chinese Grand Prix being cancelled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
