F1 will not hold races where there's coronavirus restrictions on teams

Formula 1 says it will not hold a race in a country that prevents any team from entering, as a result of coronavirus restrictions.

It adds that if a team makes its own choice not to go to a race, that's their decision, but where a team is prevented from going to a race because the country decides so, then it's difficult to have a fair competition.

This comes as Vietnam has imposed a 14-day quarantine period on visitors from Italy, while Bahrain has employed special measures to ensure its race can go ahead.

Organisers are hoping to introduce similar arrangements in Vietnam, but as of now, both races are scheduled to go on as planned.
