The world has come to a halt as an unprecedented pandemic has taken everyone by surprise. As a vaccine is being developed with a possible eta of 12 months, life has been put on hold, schools and businesses have been temporarily closed, and markets have been emptied as people stock up on supplies as people hunker down waiting to return to normalcy. Businesses from cruise lines to airlines, and even Disney World have been paused.

What does this mean for the 2020 season of Formula 1? Only time will tell. Hopefully this will not stop the talented artists of Scuderia Ferrari who creatively design each grand prix cover. Below is Ferrari's response to the FIA decision to cancel the 2020 Australian Grand Prix.

Ferrari Press Release - 3/13/2020

Melbourne, 13 March 2020 – Scuderia Ferrari fully supports the decision taken by the FIA and Formula 1 in conjunction with the Australian Grand Prix Corporation to cancel the Australian Grand Prix (13 to 15 March) at Melbourne’s Albert Park circuit.

The safety of all team members is our number one priority, especially as the Covid-19 pandemic continues to evolve rapidly.

We feel very sorry for the fans who were due to come to Albert Park and support the Formula 1 race with all their usual enthusiasm, as well as all those who would have been watching from around the world."
