So is the Gp going ahead or not? I been reading conflicting info.
I also read no official accounchment as something to do with sponsors able to get a refund depending on when the event gets cancelled.

Benson says Vettel and Raikkonen have flown home. (Although Benson does have a habit of being wrong so take that with a pinch of salt). There is no way the race now goes ahead. It was stupid to fly to Melbourne anyway it was so obvious that someone would have the Coronavirus and the race would be off. What a terrible look for F1.

Apparently it is canceled

Speculation based on... I don't know what, but that's what I'm reading:
For racing: Mercedes, Red Bull, AlphaTauri, Racing Point, Williams
Against racing: McLaren, Ferrari, Renault, Alfa Romeo, Haas
"If he can't do it with Ferrari, well, he can't do it." - John Surtees
Mechanics of Alfa Romeo, Haas, Racing Point, Williams, AlphaTauri a Red Bull are in the paddock getting the cars ready
"If he can't do it with Ferrari, well, he can't do it." - John Surtees
This is all messed up. Organisers still want the race to be held, but Kimi and Seb flew home, McLaren will not be racing, teams are 50/50... poor fans

So 2023 started off bad, but managed to claw back some lap time come end of the year. Lets hope SF24 will give us tifosi something to smile about.
in all fairness, the race has been cancelled.....what are the drivers gonna do there?? stick around for what??? free corona virus???
pretty sure Bahrain will be cancelled, vietnam is....so like i said, mini vacation for the drivers and see you all in May'ish...or maybe june if we're lucky

my understanding was that Ross Brown said a few days ago, that if ONE team doesn't make it or beign able to compete in the race....then the whole race weekend will be cancelled as it's NOT fair to that said team if all other teams go ahead and race....
so, now that Mclaren can't race because of workers actually having the Corona....well, it's NOT brain science.....the F1 show will NOT GO....

FIA just cancelled the race.
It's not how start but how you finish.
I am just stating what Ross Brawn said. McLaren did withdrawl because of 1 guy testing positive. What happened after that, well... it is what it is. I had the smallest hope that the GP would go on, that they'd find a way to control the situation, but I knew it was unlikely.

Iam afraid to say it but it looks like a very large portion of this year's f1 calender is going to be a non event.The risks simply outweigh the benefits.These are testing times at a global level and no aspect of what goes on,on mother earth is being spared carnage every where.Thanks china 1.4 billion times.
