Before the world had considered the word “lockdown” or the thought of hosting a family quiz on Zoom had crossed anyone’s mind, Formula 1 had lofty plans for 2020. The season was set to see F1 return to the Netherlands for the first time in 35 years and the series was planning its inaugural race in Vietnam.
When Covid-19 hit, however, those plans were thrown out the window. While F1 did eventually return to Zandvoort in the Netherlands a year later, the series never raced on the $600million track that was built for the inaugural Vietnamese Grand Prix.
