LONDON - The French Formula One Grand Prix scheduled for June 28 at Le Castellet has been cancelled owing to the coronavirus pandemic, while spectators will not be allowed at the British Grand Prix in July, the organisers said on Monday .

"Given the evolution of the situation linked to the spread of the Covid-19 virus, the French Grand Prix takes note of the decisions announced by the French state making it impossible to maintain our event," said French GP managing director Eric Boullier. The season is now expected to start in Austria on July 5 at Spielberg's Red Bull Ring, in what could be a double-header without spectators.

"I am extremely disappointed to tell you that we are unable to stage this year's British Grand Prix in front of the fans at Silverstone," said the circuit's managing director, Stuart Pringle, in a message to fans.
