Silverstone says the racing circuit could place cardboard cut-outs of fans for their two F1 events this season. 

Since both races will be held behind closed doors amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Silverstone believes this will help make the track feel less empty. 

This is similar to what the German Bundesliga did when their football matches resumed.

Liverpool's mayor is against plans to stage the upcoming Merseyside Derby at a neutral venue. 

He says the match between Everton and Liverpool should be held at Goodison Park, as he's confident that local authorities can provide a safe environment.
