Motor racing-Formula One assessing Turkish travel situation

Formula One is keeping a close eye on the situation in Turkey after the British government on Friday placed the country on a red list for travel due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The sport announced last month that Turkey's Istanbul Park circuit was replacing Canada on the calendar with a grand prix on June 13."We are aware of the announcement made by the UK government regarding travel restrictions for Turkey and are assessing the situation and will provide more details in the coming days," said a spokesman.

The red list designation means travel to Turkey is allowed only in"the most extreme circumstances" and anyone returning has to pay for compulsory hotel quarantine.AdvertisementThe race in Istanbul would follow on from the Azerbaijan Grand Prix in Baku the weekend before so teams would not be travelling directly to Turkey from Britain.
