It is n🔥ot known if the possible Monday re-run, which would cause logistical chaos but is 'under consideration', will take place in the day or night.
Another option is to return in September when the Hungaꦉrian Grand Prix was due to be held.
A further ﷽meeting to decide what w﷽ill happen is to be held at midnight.
