Hanoi to hold Formula 1 race from 2020 and onwards

It has been confirmed yesterday (7/11/18) that Vietnam will stage the Vietnamese Grand Prix from 2020 onwards.



The race is the first new addition to the calendar to be secured since Liberty Media took over the running of F1 in 2016.

It remains to be seen whether Vietnam will replace an existing Grand Prix on the schedule.

Renowned designer Hermann Tilke will be tasked with formulating the circuit on the capital's streets.

It's a fair old wait until April 2020 for the first ever #VietnamGP...

It has so far been confirmed that the pit and paddock area will be based around the runs near a football stadium in a suburb of Hanoi.
