On April 27, 2020, the French Grand Prix became the latest casualty of the coronavirus pandemic, with organisers announcing its cancellation.
According to Eric Boullier, the race's managing director, the decision was made in light of the evolving situation linked to the spread of Covid-19, and in line with decisions announced by the French state.
The cancellation of the French Grand Prix marks the 10th leg of the decimated 2020 championship to be either scrapped or postponed, with several other races already affected by the pandemic.
