Po procrastination, which lasted almost until the start of the first free practice, is the decision, however, fell in formula 1 because of coronavirus will not run the inaugural race of the 2020 season. The background to this procrastination has been v contractual issues between Formula 1 and the race organizer. A v behind the scenesthey were non-uniform also teams. “We wanted to race,He said Helmut Marko, sports boss Red Bull Racing. "Some others were ready too, but you wouldn’t get the engine.“It’s about teams Haas (Ferrari engine) and Racing Point (Mercedes engine).
It is immediately after the cancellation of the race Gunther Steiner, team boss Haas, a colleague from Motorsport-Magazine.com admitted: “We would race."Large manufacturers opposed the race Mercedes, Ferrari in Renault. The contentious issues led to a longer decision-making process. “Because some people have changed their minds several times,He said Marko. Apparently he was Mercedes at first for the race, but on the recommendation of the concern Daimler they changed their minds. And after Mercedes, Ferrari and Renault were not ready to take part in the race, their partners stayed without engines. And in this case, all that remained was the decision to cancel. “As far as I understand, the race organizer and the WHO gave the green light,”To me Marko.
Gunther Steiner he said after the cancellation that he was still on the track at eight o’clock in the morning and didn’t know if he was going to race. “At nine I was then informed that there would be no racing." South Tyrolthe ec nevertheless acknowledges that the decision was reasonable. “When it was then said that the fans could not go to the racetrack anyway, it no longer made sense for us to race either." Steiner otherwise he was not at the last meeting where the decision was made on race cancellations, but he spoke differently about the previous ones than he did Marko. "The atmosphere was good, everyone told their opinion, what they want to do, what is possible and what the problems are. We all respect each other, everyone has a different position. Here are the teams that belong to the big concerns and they have a different policy, here are different countries, Italy, Great Britain, we from America, it's all different."
How will it be now continued, even the teams don’t know. Marko for example, does not believe in the start of the season before I'm baking, meanwhile you are Steiner he wants good planning. “We shouldn’t travel to a venue if we know we can’t race." South Tyrol remind you how much money is spent here. “Most importantly, we have a clear line of what we will do next. And we need that line as soon as possible. We don’t know what the next race will be. We will find out only from the management of Formula 1. We are currently packing our things, and on Monday we are traveling home or to another place, but we do not know that yet."
