Formula 1 could still hold a world championship this year even if the season cannot start until October, managing director Ross Brawn says. Ross Brawn said F1 was looking at closed-door races as a way to start the season once the coronavirus crisis eases and “every permutation is being discussed”. F1 must run eight races for a season to be classed as a world championship. Brawn said he believed the 2020 season could include anywhere between eight and 19 races and that plans for how to approach a season were changing almost every day.
