Formula One confirmed on Tuesday that one of the most celebrated races of the calendar ? Australian Grand Prix ? has been cancelled for the second consecutive year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Although the number of cases in the country are quite low, the government has some strict travel restrictions in place which would have made it logistically very challenging to conduct the race. The F1 Australian Grand Prix 2021 was slated to take place at the Albert Park Grand Prix Circuit from November 18-21 but will now have to be replaced. Australian Grand Prix Corporation Chairman, Paul Little AO said, ?We?re deeply disappointed that for a second consecutive year, both MotoGP and Formula 1 fans won?t be able to see the world?s best riders and drivers compete at the wonderful Phillip Island and Albert Park Grand Prix Circuits. We appreciate the challenge Australia faces with current international travel restrictions and the importance of vaccinations.?
