Football setting the example? Champions League and Europa League postponed!
Formula 1 is under a lot of pressure to make a choice for the Australian Grand Prix. Now that McLaren has withdrawn from the race, more and more people will have their doubts about continuing the Formula 1 weekend.
Where many have had their doubts about continuing the Australian Grand Prix, now that the coronavirus has increased to a great extent, this seems to be getting worse. McLaren deliberately distances himself from the race weekend after a staff member has tested positive for COVID-19. Haas received positive news, because those employees turned out to be clean.
Football setting the example for Formula 1?

La UEFA también suspenderá su actividad. Se frenan la Champions League y la Europa League pic.twitter.com/1BZ0pKE48V
Formula 1 is of course not the only sport that has to contend with the coronavirus because football has also taken drastic measures in the meantime. In most countries (with the exception of the Netherlands), for example, games are already played without an audience, but UEFA has now taken even greater measures.
According to Marca, it has been decided that the Champions League football and also the Europa League will be moved up. Perhaps an example for Formula 1, which will now seriously consider moving up the season until all problems surrounding the coronavirus have been resolved. McLaren has taken charge, now see what the rest does.
