The 2020 Dutch Grand Prix has been cancelled because of the global coronavirus pandemic.

The race, which was set to return to the Formula 1 calendar for the first time since 1985, was due to be held on 3 May but was initially postponed.

“We were completely ready for this race and we still are,” said Dutch Grand Prix sports director Jan Lammers.

“We ask everyone to be patient. I had to look forward to it for 35 years, so I can wait another year.”

“An unbelievable achievement has been made thanks to all the fans, the companies and the governments involved.

“We and Formula 1 have investigated the potential to hold a rescheduled race this year without spectators, but we would like to celebrate this moment, the return of Formula 1 in Zandvoort, together with our racing fans in the Netherlands.”
