For a long time, it was said that the race weekend would go ahead as usual, but this ultimately proved to be unfeasible. Just after midday, it was announced that the situation is such that it is not responsible to let the Grand Prix go ahead. So everyone will have to wait an extra week for another Grand Prix. This one will be held on the streets of Monaco.
