F1 set to host inaugural Grand Prix in Qatar with latest calendar shake-up

The Hindu  

Formula One published a revised calendar for the remainder of the season on Saturday with the number of races dropping from a record 23 to 22 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and Qatar expected to debut. Three races were given new dates, and one weekend in late November was left subject to confirmation, with Qatar likely to fill it with a first Grand Prix at the Losail circuit used regularly by MotoGP. If Qatar gets the nod, that would make a Middle Eastern run to end the season with Saudi Arabia's first race on December 5 and Abu Dhabi on December 12. Formula One starts a European triple-header this weekend with Belgium followed by the return of the Dutch Grand Prix and then the Italian Grand Prix at Monza on successive weekends.
