Japan will usher in the first and second practice sessions of the Singapore Grand Prix on Friday. The third practice and qualifying competition will be held on October 1, and the main competition will officially begin at 8 pm on October 2. With the end of the Singapore Grand Prix, there are only the last five stops left in the 2022 season.
On the evening of September 20, F1 officially released the schedule of the 2023 season, and the fourth stop is the Chinese station we are familiar with and expect. But does the appearance of a Chinese station in the schedule mean that it will definitely be held? I have great hope, and I wonder what other F1 fans think?
At the beginning of 2020, the sudden outbreak of the new crown epidemic disrupted the original Grand Prix plan of the Chinese station. At first, the event in April was postponed to the second half of the year. As the epidemic became more serious, it was finally cancelled. The Shanghai station in 2021 was still not successfully held. By this season, China's epidemic prevention and control performance is better than other countries, and the number of people affected by the epidemic is much lower than that of other countries, but there is still no Chinese station in the final schedule given by F1.
The decisive factor in whether the Chinese website is held is held
In fact, there were opportunities to hold a Chinese website in the past few years, but they were affected by force majeure factors and were finally cancelled or could not be held directly. Whether the 2023 China Station can be held only depends on the subsequent epidemic prevention and control measures. As of now, Shanghai is still implementing the "7+3" measures, but there is still more than half a year before the original China Station hosting date. The impact of the epidemic in the future should gradually weaken, and epidemic prevention measures will be relaxed.
Not only that, we can see that the time of the Chinese station is from April 14 to 16, 2023, and there is a 12-day interval between the previous Australian station and the next Azerbaijani station. Even if the epidemic prevention measures in 2023 are not changed, it is still "7+3", and there is still two days of surplus.
Generally speaking, there is a lot of information that the team needs to prepare or collect before heading to the next stop, including hotels and transportation, commercial activity arrangements, track conditions and weather conditions, flights, etc. Treat special circumstances and special treatment, the fleet may make different decisions on different situations, such as some personnel from the fleet go to China in advance to collect necessary information or delete some activities to save time, etc.
