Turkish GP cancelled, Austria gets second 2021 F1 race

The Hindu  

The Turkish Grand Prix will not go ahead as scheduled due to the worsening COVID-19 situation in the country, with Austria getting a second 2021 F1 race instead. Instead, the French GP will move forward by one week to June 20, and Austria will get a second race — just like it did last year. “I want to thank the promoter and authorities in Turkey for all of their efforts in recent weeks and want to thank the promoters in France and Austria for their speed, flexibility and enthusiasm," F1 president Stefano Domenicali said. “We understand that this modification has an impact on our fans and our partners, and we're sorry for that," race director Eric Boullier said.
