Formul🀅a 1 has proposed that the Shanghai International Circuit could host two races this year, but the city’s government is y๊et to make a decision.

In February, the Chinese Grand Prix became the first r💃ace on the original 2020 calendar to be postponed from its mid-April slot due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which forced the opening 10 events to be shelved.

F1 has already announced an eight-round European leg of the season for its revised 2020 schedule will begin in Austria on July 5 and 💎is currently wo🍷rking to finalise the remainder of the campaign.

Speaking to the Shanghai People’s 𓃲Radio Station on Monday, Sports Bureau Director Xu Bin confirmed the city is working on bringing back international events including the Chinese Grand Prix.

“F1 has announced they will resume the opening e🍬ight European races, without a round in Asia,” he sai🧸d.

“The event origin🐻ally schedඣuled has been postponed to the second half of the year.

“FOM asked whether we could host two races in Shanghai in the discussion. It’s not been decided.ꦆ It will depend on the p🥃andemic situation.”

China was the first country to be hit with the coronavirus but the Shanghai I♕nternational Circuit reopened for private events in April as the nation began to r🍬ecover and the situation improved. 

Last week the Azerbaijan, Canadian and Japanese Grands Prix were added to the list of seven cancellations, wit𒆙h championship bosses expecting more flyaway rounds to be called off.

F1 is subsequently focusing its attentions on Europe and is considꦡering a number of double-heade♏r events at circuits not on the original calendar to meet its target of a 15-18 race world championship.

Among the circuits in contention are Mugello and Portimao - neither of which have hosted grand prix r🍃acing before - along with former venues Hockenheim and Imola.
