    It's been a crazy 24 hours in the runup to the Australian GP weekend, with McLaren pulling out after a team member tested positive for COVID-19, rumors going back and forth about the race being cancelled (including not letting spectators enter the stands for today's practice session,) reports of multiple drivers flying home, and finally an official cancellation. Check out the recent posts in r/Formula1 to see the scope of the situation (and this meme.)

    (Today was due to be a practice session, with qualifying on Saturday and the race itself on Sunday.)

    Its going to be interesting to see if they cancel more GP weekends. I'm honestly looking forward to next years season, with the new car designs and rules.

      Following the cancellation of the season-opening Australian Grand Prix and the postponement of the races in China, Bahrain and Vietnam, Formula 1 and governing body the FIA have said they now 'expect' the 2020 season to begin at the end of May.
