I think it might be more of a problem than just McLaren. It sounds like confirmation of the race being cancelled is imminent.

Doesn't surprise me, given that all the major leagues in North America are suspending or pushing back play.

Just heard on the news here that it's cancelled.

Once things settle down and racing begins I'll post new threads for any rescheduled races.

It's a bit chaotic down here, but it hasn't been cancelled (as of ten minutes ago). The international media have got it wrong. Latest is it'll run but with no spectators.
