The Sport Thread

I think the cancellation of the F1 GP was going to be apparent when the Russian flag was being removed from the F1 app the night before it was officially called off.

I would also assume from a broadcasting pov; Channel 4's coverage of the Russian GP won't be broadcast from the Red Bull F1 Factory in Milton Keynes this year.

With a lot of people being vaccinated against Covid over the past while; would there still be a need for Channel 4 to broadcast any part their F1 race highlights programmes from F1 factories based in the UK this year if new variants of Covid are still cropping up throughout the rest of the world. There is a still a very big concentration of Covid being felt in some parts of Asia at this point.

I'm also not sure if countries visa entry rules on Covid are getting back to some normality for this year.
