GP for Saudi Arabia

Motorsport: Saudi Arabia is set to host a Formula One grand prix for the first time next year with a street race in Jeddah featuring on a record 23round draft calendar presented to teams, F1 sources said yesterday.

A second United States race in Miami appears on hold for at least another year, however. A proposed new Brazilian Grand Prix track in Rio de Janeiro has yet to be built and faces mounting environmental concerns, meaning the calendar could ultimately drop to a stillrecord 22 races.

The Covid19 pandemic adds uncertainty, although the sport's ability to race this year has boosted the chances of a fuller calendar. — Reuters
