Formula 1 continues to bear the brunt of Covid-19 as the Australian Grand Prix has been canceled after local organizers and Formula One couldn't come up with a compromise over Australia's strict travel and quarantine issues relating to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The race was postponed from its original season-opening spot on the F1 calendar on March 21 and had been rescheduled for Nov. 21.

Apart from that, the Australian MotoGP has also been called off. Both races were cancelled last year as well.
