F1 discusses behind-closed-doors Austrian GP in July - report

Formula One has discussed the possibility of starting the 2020 season with behind-closed-doors Austrian Grand Prix in July, according to the BBC.

The first nine races of the F1 season have either been postponed or cancelled due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, while the French Grand Prix -- slated to be held on July 28 -- also looks set to be called off. That would leave Austria's race of July 5 as the next one on the original 2020 schedule which is yet to be altered.
