Spielberg - It was not immediately clear how many fans Russian authorities hope to allow inside the 55,000-capacity Sochi Autodrome
The F1 season started last weekend in Austria with no fans at the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg because of the coronavirus pandemic. But Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko said he hopes spectators can attend can attend the race in Sochi later this year.
"Russia is ready to receive the Formula 1 teams and spectators. The government will provide all the assistance required during the preparation and delivery of the competition," Chernyshenko said Friday. "It will be an important event for Russian sport."
It was not immediately clear how many fans Russian authorities hope to allow inside the 55,000-capacity Sochi Autodrom.
"This will be an incredible festival for the widest audience possible," said Alexey Titov, the CEO of state-backed race promoter Rosgonki.
"We are confident that the difficulties of this year will not become a special obstacle for motorsport fans. We are meticulously preparing to receive spectators safely and looking forward to seeing everyone."
Both races were added to the calendar by F1 organizers on Friday, taking the number of scheduled races so far this season to 10 - all of them in Europe.
F1 still hopes to have 15-18 races and to finish the season in December with races in Bahrain and Abu Dhabi.
"We had great start to our season in Austria last weekend and we are increasingly confident in our plans to race throughout the remainder of 2020," F1 chairman Chase Carey said. "We are equally excited to see Formula 1 race for the first time at Mugello, an occasion that will mark Ferrari's 1000th Grand Prix."
Mugello is about 32 kilometers (20 miles) from Florence. It has never staged an F1 race but has hosted F2 and MotoGP races, as well as previously being a Ferrari test track.
Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel did a test drive there last month.
