Monaco GP to go ahead

Motorsport: Formula One’s Monaco Grand Prix will happen this season after being cancelled last year due to the Covid19 pandemic, organisers said yesterday in response to speculation the showcase race could be scrapped again.

The race is scheduled for May 23 as the fifth round on a calendar that was tweaked earlier this month due to the continuing spread of the virus.

The Historic Grand Prix for classic F1 cars was also confirmed for April 2325 and the allelectric Formula E race on May 8.
