The iconic Monaco Formula One Grand Prix, a glittering fixture on the world motorsport calendar for 65 years, was cancelled Thursday, the latest event to fall victim to the consequences of the coronavirus pandemic.
The race, due to be held in the Principality on May 24, was axed completely while the Grand Prix in the Netherlands and Spain were postponed.
"The situation is no longer tenable," said a statement by the Automobile Club de Monaco.
"After careful consideration as to the gravity of this crisis worldwide, it is with great sadness that the board of directors has taken this decision."
