The promoteܫrs of the Mexican Grand Prix expect their Formula 1 race will b🐼e able to go ahead as planned on its original date.

On 𓄧Tuesday, F1 championship bosses unveiled the early plans for its revised 2020 calendar, c🅘onfirming eight European-based rounds would be kicked off with back-to-back behind closed doors races in Austria in early July.

The Red Bull Ring rounds will be followed up with the Hungarian Grand Prix on July 16, a second double-header event at Silverstone at the start of August, before further ra𓆏ces in Spain, Belgium and Italy across Auguꦉst and early September.

F1 is yet toও publish the remainder of its calendar due to ongoing uncertainty cꦚaused by the COVID-19 pandemic, but hopes to have finalised a full 15-18-race schedule in the coming weeks.

The championship aims to travel to Asia and the Americas in the Autumn before concluding the heavily-delayed 2020 campaign in the Middle East, with the final two races likely to take place in Bahrain and Abu Dha🌠bi in mid-December. 

Re꧟sponding to the announcement, Mexican Grand Prix promoter group, Inter-American Entertainment Corporation (CIE), said its dates of 30 October to 1 November “remain ဣfirm”.

“The highest priority of the organisers of the Mexico City GP is to ensure the well-being and health of all, which is why the strictest sanitation measures are being taken to guarantee the s🌺afest experience for all attendees at the Autódromo Herma♚nos Rodríguez,” read a statement from race organisers.
