Formula 1 celebrates for the first time in Corona the return of the masses

The Formula One World Championship during the Tuscany Grand Prix ninth stage celebrates the return of the fans for the first time since the start of the season, while it will be the thousandth race for Ferrari.

The Italian circuit, which has never before received the first category competitions, is witnessing the return of the masses for the first time since the health crisis due to the spread of the new Corona virus, which led to the postponement of the start of the tournament and the cancellation of many races, as nearly 3,000 people will be able to attend the race and the two stages of the race between 11 and 13 September .

Organizers will use very strict health protocols in terms of adhering to social distancing and wearing medical masks, but drivers will be able to see the flags when passing in front of the platforms.

All races that have taken place since the resumption of the Austrian Grand Prix after the suspension due to the emerging corona virus were held behind closed doors, with respect to a very strict health protocol.

Other races are scheduled to be held this year, with fans attending at the end of the season, especially Portugal, at the Portimao circuit in the south of the country.


The track, owned by Ferrari, is usually designated for the MotoGP World Championship, and is just 100 km from Maranello, the Italian company's stronghold.

For Ferrari, the 1000th race will not be a celebration but rather the hope of returning to score well in their stronghold after a series of meager results in past races.

The red team is running in the race in the midst of the transfer of its German driver Sebastian Vettel, four-time world champion, to Racing Point, starting next season, when he will switch to Austin Martin, after the British team announced on Wednesday that he would not renew the contract of Mexican Sergio Perez from next year.

Ferrari will be especially careful not to repeat the Monza disaster, with team drivers Vettel and Charles Leclerc leaving Monaco during the race after a failure in the first car's brakes, and the second car crashed as a result of losing control and colliding with the tire wall at the Parabolica turn.
