Turkish Grand Prix rejoins Formula One calendar

BEIJING: The Turkish Grand Prix has rejoined the 2021 Formula One calendar and will replace the Singapore Grand Prix on October 3. F1 had originally planned to stage the Istanbul race on June 13 as a replacement for the Canadian Grand Prix, but was forced to shelve those plans owing to travel restrictions between Turkey and Britain, where six of F1's ten teams are based.

Travel restrictions had also led to the cancellation of the Singapore race, which was announced earlier this month.

The Istanbul event will slot in between the Russian and Japanese Grands Prix to form a run of three races on consecutive weekends. IANS
