Should F1 start Racing in May?

[gm99]

I think May 19th has been agreed in the EU. Most coutries like the Netherlands, Austria, Germany etc are already planningb to lift the lockdown on the 19th of May.

I live in Austria, but I have not heard anything about May 19. Austria has already started to ease some of the restrictions, like opening smaller shops on April 14, with the rest to follow on May 2. Restaurants and hotels will remain closed at least until mid-May, while any events with spectators remain forbidden until the end of August.

There will be no sudden lifting of the lock-down on a given date, and certainly not on the same date in all of the EU countries, as they have been affected quite differently. Rather, this will be a gradual process bound to happen at a different pace in each of the member states.
