Last week, Silverstone got the approval from the country to still host a race at the venue in July without race fans. All signs looked promising of Formula One holding two races on consecutive weekend’s for July 26 and August 2. See, the first two races of the season are slated to take place in Austria for July 5 and July 12, also behind closed doors too.

Belgium got the okay to race without fans for Aug. 30.

More: F1’s Schedule Taking Shape, Albeit Without Any Fans In Attendance For A While

A few weeks ago, F1 CEO Chase Carey said that they are expecting to run 15-18 races in 2020 and would do so geographically. They’d start in Europe for July-August, then move to Asia in September-October. From there, it would be to the Americas for October-November then wrap up in December in the Middle East.

We know three of the 22 initially scheduled races (Monaco, France and Australia) have been cancelled. We know seven more are seeking new dates (Bahrain, Vietnam, China, Netherlands, Spain, Azerbaijan and Canada). With two added races in Austria and England at the start and a goal of 15-18 rounds, some of those on the “postponed” list are going to move to the “canceled” one.

So where do we sit from there?

Well, England’s parliament just put a wrench back into things. See, according to their COVID-19 plans, they’re limiting arrivals into the country to a mandatory 14 day quarantine. That starts on June 1. Sporting leagues were trying to get a waiver around that, but according to reports overseas, F1 isn’t likely going to receive one.

Here’s where this gets tricky. Seven of the 10 F1 teams are headquartered inside of the country. If they leave for Austria in early July, they can’t come back and made adjustments between that race and the one a week later. While that could be okay and they could just remain in Austria and come back after the July 12 race, according to the law, they’ve have to self isolate themselves for 14 days, meaning that if they get back in the country some time that night on the 12th, the earliest that they can come back out is July 26, meaning a race at Silverstone on that date would be difficult. They’d have to wait until a week or so later. Plus, what does that do with the three teams and even the tire manufacturer Pirelli who will be coming from outside of the country? They’d have to come in the same day as the seven teams that are located in England, but where do they go for two weeks? How is that fair for them to sit idle in hotel rooms for two weeks while the other teams have at least a base to quarantine to?

See where this is an issue.

The logical thing would be to just skip Silverstone then and replace it with Hockenheim in Germany instead. But still, you couldn’t race that event on July 26 because the other teams couldn’t get there. You’d have to push it back to August. You could run two races in Germany, then stack Hungary in there which would be Aug. 2, Aug. 9 and Aug. 16. Belgium can run on Aug. 30. But, this issue now is, the England teams have to come home eventually and when they do, they need 14 days of staying put for self quarantine which means if they’re going to race at Belgium on Aug. 30, they have to be back in England by no later than Aug. 13 or 14 or so.

That’s why creating an F1 schedule is going to be extremely difficult and one that it’s hard to pin point.
