Formula 1 CEO Cha🃏se Carey says teams will not need to formally approve any calendar changes amid attempts to reschedule postponed races into the 2020 schedule. 

Championship officials are currently trying to rearrange the 2020 season calendar after the opening seven rounds were either postponed or cancelled duꦅe to the coronavirus pandemic. 

The F1 season will not begin before June 7 in Baku at the earliest after the♏ Dutch, Spanish and Monaco grands prix were shelved, but it is hoped all races - barring the fully cancelled Monaco round - can be added to the schedule at a later date, with August’s traditional break now free after teams agreed to bring the shutdown period forward to March-April. 

The calendar was a key subject on the agenda during phone conference call on Thursday held by the 10 t📖eams, F1 chiefs Carey and Ross Brawn, and FIA president Jean Todt.💎 

In a statement issued after the meeting Carey insisted that he is "fully committed to launching a 2020 season as soon as pos♛sible”.

“During this exceptional time and following several race postponements and the World Motorsport Council’s unanimous decision to move the Formula 1 Summer break forward to March and April, we and 𒀰the FIA discussed with the teams the need for extra flexibility to acc🐎ommodate a rescheduled season once the COVID-19 situation improves,” Carey said. 

“At the meeting there was🍰 full support for the plans to reschedule as many of the postponed races as possible as soon as it is safe to do so. Formula 1 and the FIA will now work to finalise a revised 2020 calendar and will consult with the teams, but as agreed at the meeting the revised calendar will not require their formal approval.&nbs๊p;

“This will give us the necessary fleไxibility to agree revised timings with affected race promoters and to be ready to start racing at the right moment.”

Teℱams also agreed to delay the introduction of the 2021 technical regulations by a year until 2022, with 🗹the finer details set to be formally approved in due course. 

Speaking about the postponement of the 2021 rules, Carey added: ”In addition, as announced by the FIA, it was agreed unanimously at the meeting that the implementation of the Technical Regulations due to take effect from the 2021 season will be postponed until 2022. 

“Due to the currently volatile financial situation this has created, it has been agreed that teams will use their 2020 chassis for 2✤021, with the potential freezing of further components to be discussed in due course. 

“The introduction and implementation of the Financial Regulations will go ahead as planned 🥃in🎐 2021.

“We are all very grateful for the collaborative nature of the discussions and fully united approach from all parties to get racing in 2020 as soon as the current global situa𒊎tion subsides. 

“Formula 1 remains fully committe💜d to launching a 2020 season as soon as possible.”
