Formula 1 has confirmed that the Canadian GP will not take place this year. The race on the Gilles Villeneuve circuit will be replaced by a race in Turkey.
In recent weeks, it became known that Formula 1 had asked the local authorities for an additional financial effort to support the organizers behind the Canadian GP. Back then there were rumors that Turkey may replace Canada on the F1 calendar and that is now officially the case.
Officially, Formula 1 is relying on the persistent travel restrictions that ensure that there is still a mandatory 14-day quarantine if a race has to be organized in Canada, something that would cause a lot of organizational and logistical problems.
During the race weekend from 11 to 13 June, the seventh race on the F1 calendar 2021, the GP of Turkey will act as a replacement. Last year, Turkey also returned to the F1 calendar as a ‘substitute’ for the first time in nine years and then ensured a spectacular race.
