Should F1 start Racing in May?

[gm99]

I think the decision when to end the lock-down will be taken by the individual member states, not the EU, which seems reasonable to me as the countries are in different stages of the virus and not all are affected by it in the same way.
I don't see any racing in May, with the Dutch and Spanish GPs already officially postponed and Monaco cancelled and any other venue stepping in needing a few weeks of preparation (as would the teams). At the earliest, I could see a race happening at the end of June, although I doubt it would be the French GP, as France has effectively prolonged the lock-down until the end of August.
More likely would be a start in Austria, where the government has already stated it would not oppose a race held without spectators.

And while a race without spectators is not perfect, it's not that uncommon - it used to be called the Grand Prix of Turkey or India
