The organization added in the statement that "we can confirm that several races in the 2020 season will be open to a limited number of fans, including hospitality, and we are working with each promoter to finalize the details".

The Belgian Grand Prix at the Spa-Francorchamps circuit this weekend will be the seventh race of a season that has been condensed into a period of five and a half months.
In search of his seventh world title, Lewis Hamilton maintains a 37-point lead over Max Verstappen. This will allow the British driver to equal Michael Schumacher's record. (D)
