Formula 1 | Zak Brown: “The Chinese GP doesn't necessarily need to be replaced”

Formula 1 will also have to do without the Chinese Grand Prix next season. The Covid issue still holds the organizers of the Asian event in check, despite the fact that in other parts of the world it is possible to race more or less without problems. Evidently in those areas there is no real limit to prevention, and therefore for the fourth consecutive year no race in Shanghai, which we remember just a year ago had renewed the agreement with Liberty Media until 2025. Formula 1 is looking at other events that could take China's place, with Portimao and Istanbul the strongest candidates. Zak Brown, CEO of McLaren spoke to Sky Sports on the issue, taking an important position in this regard.

“We must not replace the race in China just for the sake of it – Brown said. I agree with finding another location, but it has to be the right one. It's a shame not to be able to return to those parts, because we're still talking about a very important market, so I hope they can resolve all the problems related to Covid, because it's clear that we're talking about this, so we can race there from 2024 onwards ”.
