Components One says it’s “persevering with discussions” with the promoter of the Canadian Grand Prix over the operating of this yr’s race amid stories the occasion has been cancelled for a second yr in a row.

Radio-Canada reported on Thursday that the race, which is scheduled to go forward on June 13, has been cancelled.

Nevertheless, F1 wouldn’t touch upon the story past the next assertion, which was issued to ESPN by an F1 spokesperson.

“We’re persevering with our discussions with the promoter in Canada and don’t have any additional remark.”

Final yr’s Canadian Grand Prix was cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic and this yr’s race has been underneath risk as a consequence of strict quarantine laws in Canada.

The race in Montreal is scheduled to happen one week after the Azerbaijan Grand Prix in Baku, that means F1 personnel will be unable to attend each and full the obligatory 14-day quarantine imposed on travellers arriving in Canada from a international nation.

Istanbul Park in Turkey is a possible substitute for Montreal and was drafted into final yr’s race schedule after a number of grands prix had been cancelled because of the pandemic.
