2020 BRITISH GRAND PRIX CAN GO AHEAD

Here at the JDC Media Centre we’ve been keeping a close eye on the possibility of a double-header British Grand Prix taking place behind closed doors in July 2020.

It was today announced that the UK government has agreed exemptions to its planned quarantine on all arrivals from outside the UK for Formula 1 teams and officials. The decision immediately ensures that Silverstone can now host two races in in July.

According to the latest information coming from Downing Street teams across a range of elite professional sports will be exempt from the quarantine on the condition that they must provide details of all movements planned and the personnel taking part. Teams will also be expected to self-isolate during those periods.

Other sports included in the decision are football, tennis, horse racing, cricket, golf, and rugby.

With this decision now confirmed, Formula 1 Management can go ahead with planning the British Grand Prix weekend which is likely now to be held at the end of July.

JDC is looking forward to welcoming everyone back to Formula1 in 2021 for what is expected to be a very exciting and closely run season.
