The Australian Grand Prix returned to the top of the F1 calendar last weekend for the first time since 2020 when the teams arrived in Melbourne to start the new season... and then didn't. Today's Great Read revisits the race that never was
Formula 1 has always existed in a bubble, sealed from most of the concerns of the wider world. Even as the Covid-19 virus was threatening extensive lockdown, F1 was preparing to travel from Europe to Melbourne for the opening round of 2020.
After that, it intended to head straight for Bahrain, though the organisers of that race announced no spectators would be allowed to attend. "Convening a major sporting event, which is open to the public and allows thousands of international travellers and local fans to interact in close proximity, would not be the right thing to do at the present time," said their statement. F1 could ill-afford to agree, so it said nothing.
