- Virtual Bahrain GP fills in for coronavirus-hit event on Sunday
- F1 teams pledge to supply components for ventilators
Formula One is to run a series of virtual grands prix to fill in gaps left by races that have been cancelled or postponed due to coronavirus. The non-championship, esport events will feature current F1 drivers and other guest competitors and will take place on the days the real races were due to be held.
F1 teams have also responded with offers of help to the government’s request in supplying components for ventilator machines to treat those with Covid-19.
