The COVID-19 pandemic has taken away another major sports event in 2020.

Formula One has announced that the 2020 edition of the Canadian Grand Prix has been outright cancelled due to the healthy and safety concers caused by the coronavirus.

“We are disappointed that we won’t be racing in Canada this year and know our fans will miss the excitement the race in Montreal always provides,” Chase Carey, the F1 chairman and CEO Chase Carey.

“We can’t wait to be back next year and we know all our fans will be excited when we return.”

The race, which takes place in Montreal, was originally scheduled to take place from June 12-14 at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.

The 2020 Formula one season will host the rest of its season in Europe, starting with the Russian Grand Prix on September 27.
