Update: 2020 Monaco Grand Prix CANCELLED, not postponed!
- Nicolás Quarles van Ufford
The Monaco Grand Prix has confirmed to have been cancelled rather than postponed, as was earlier reported, with the principality going into lockdown following Prince Albert's positive test for the coronavirus.
The Automobile Club de Monaco confirmed it's not possible for the event to be held later in the year, meaning we will have to wait until 2021 to once again see Formula 1 cars zooming through the narrow streets at the Circuit de Monaco.
