Some wonder when they will be able to race spectators are also present, others are already announcing what they are, but the great ones Formula 1 they are very careful despite their wishes.

Cyril Abiteboul, team boss Renault, says the races will be without the presence of spectators in the stands new normality at least in most of this year’s races and that’s why we need to prepare for the fact that racers and teams won’t be seeing their fans for quite some time. “If we look at the way the pandemic develops and fluctuates and is more under control in Europe than elsewhere, it seems to me that we will probably have to wait for the whole championship and the whole winter break before we can find some organizers willing to take the economic the risk of organizing the race with full stands,”Is Abiteboul told colleagues from the portal Racer. "With full stands cheering for their heroes, full of flags, at a race like Silverstone, where 120.000 people gather, we’ll have to wait for that."

"We are preparing for a season that will take place mostly behind closed doors and with a different economy. But we hope to be able to have at least a small fan presence after the summer. The main concern is to protect the sport and Formula 1 for next year, when we think everything will be back to normal,He added Abiteboul.
