The start of the championship was postponed until the beginning of May, taking into account the previously canceled Chinese race, Offsideplus.az reports.

Meanwhile, rumors began to emerge in the paddock of the Albert Park in Melbourne that the championship would start in the Netherlands, not just in May, but a month later in Baku. However, it was announced yesterday that many mass events, including major sporting events, planned to be held in March and April in Azerbaijan have postponed. That is why some media have reported that the Azerbaijani Grand Prix, scheduled for June, will also be postponed.

Rahim Aliyev, Formula1's well-known expert in the country, commentator of the competitions and the official ambassador of Azerbaijan Grand Prix, commented  on the issue:

“Everything could happen in two months and the situation might be postponed. But at present Azerbaijan Grand Prix is ​​not the subject of discussion. "
