F1's Japanese Grand Prix cancelled as Covid cases continue to rise in the country

By Cillian Doyle.

The Japanese Grand Prix has been cancelled due to a rise of Covid cases in the country.

Organisers say the decision was made because of "complexities of the pandemic" - and that Formula 1 is working on details of the revised calendar.

The race was due to take place in October.
