Formula One bosses have cancelled the Canadian Grand Prix for a second successive season after failing to obtain a quarantine exemption for their travelling contingent on arrival in Montreal. The June 13 date has instead been handed to Istanbul, even though Turkey went into full lockdown on Thursday. Other venues, including Germany and China, are on a reserve list if any more gaps open up. 'The measures have proven to be highly effective with over 78,000 Covid tests conducted last season with only 78 positive results, a rate of 0.1 per cent. So far this season we have conducted over 12,000 tests with 14 positive cases, again a rate of 0.1pc.
