F1 considers two-day Chinese Grand Prix

Shanghai

The Chinese Grand Prix could be rescheduled for November as part of a two-day event sandwiched in between the Brazilian and Abu Dhabi races.

The Shanghai Grand Prix was originally scheduled for April 19 but has been postponed following the outbreak of Coronavirus.

F1 officials have since been weighing up how to get their race calendar back on track and are deliberating over several possibilities.

The favored option is for the Chinese Grand Prix to take place as part of a triple header of F1 races, but over a shorter time frame.

The two-day Grand Prix would see the Saturday reserved for practice and qualifying, before the race on the Sunday.

In order for it to go ahead, other teams must vote unanimously in favor of the rescheduled date and it's unsure whether everyone will be happy with the proposal.
