FIA Formula 2 and FIA Formula 3 Championships Round 1 in Bahrain postponed

Following the announcement that the Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix has been postponed, it has been decided conjointly with the FIA and F1 that the opening 2020 round of the FIA Formula 2 and FIA Formula 3 Championships, scheduled to take place on March 20-22, will also be postponed.

F2 and F3 CEO Bruno Michel said: “We’re sorry we have to postpone our opening Round at the Bahrain International Circuit, but of course the safety of everyone in our paddock and the fans has to come first.

“We conducted our pre-season tests at Sakhir and we’re looking forward to racing there as soon as possible.

“We will communicate a revised 2020 F2 and F3 calendar at a later date."
