No delays to F1 race despite virus

HÀ NỘI — The Formula  一 VinFast Việt Nam Grand Prix  二0 二0 will still take place as scheduled on April  五 despite growing concerns over the novel coronavirus (COVID- 一 九) outbreak, the Hà Nội Tourism Department announced this afternoon.

The department said the F 一 race would spread the Vietnamese image to the world.

Earlier, the Chinese Grand Prix, scheduled for April  一 九, was postponed due to the deadly virus, causing doubts over the inaugural Việt Nam race, which will be held in Hà Nội,  一00 miles from the border with China.

The event’s organising board said preparations were on schedule and confirmed the race would take place as planned.

CEO of F 一 Ross Brawn also said that the Việt Nam Grand Prix would happen on schedule. — VNS
