The Italian government has banned spectators from attending this weekend's Emilia Romagna Grand Prix at the historic Imola track.
Imola had hoped to allow 13,000 spectators into the track on Saturday and Sunday but the rise of coronavirus cases across Italy has forced a U-turn.
The government has banned crowds at events among a raft of other measures to slow the spread of the virus.
F1 said it "understands and respects the decision taken by the authorities".
Imola is returning to the F1 calendar for the first time since 2006.
It held 27 consecutive races from 1980, first as a one-off stand-in for Monza as the host of the Italian Grand Prix and then from 1981 as a second race in the country with the title San Marino GP.
The circuit has won a place this year as a result of the major changes to the schedule caused by the pandemic, which has forced F1 to hold a largely European calendar.
The race will be held over a compressed two-day schedule over the weekend, with just one practice session on Saturday morning before qualifying in the afternoon.
The race is at 13:10 local time (12:10 GMT) on Sunday.

Rosberg's track guide
Bottas on pole, so when will Hamilton pass him tomorrow, at the start or in the pit stop phase?
Gasly 4th. Excellent job.

Albon had a bit of a nightmare but recovered to end up 6th for tomorrow which isn't the worst. Am I right in thinking he'll be starting on soft tyres while others around him are on medium? He has to get a good start (for a change tomorrow) to gain some places before his tyres go off, and his starts aren't really the best so we'll see what happens.
Bottas will be in 2nd by the end of the first lap, possibly even 3rd of Max gets a good start.

I didn't realise this has started, safety car is out and there is only 6 laps remaining!! Verstappen is out and Russell is out (which caused the safety car apparently)
Mistake to box Perez.
Racing Point have messed up and lost a podium. His tyres were still fresher than those around him. Sacrificed track position for nothing

Alex Albon spins on the restart and drops down to last place.
Ricciardo, Kvyat and Leclerc make up the top 5 behind the two Mercedes

One more mistake in the field and Latifi could pick up Williams' first point!
Which would be brilliant!
