The Formula 1 Turkish Grand Prix race set to take place in Istanbul in June has been cancelled, auto news site Otomobil Sayfası reported on Tuesday.

The announcement to cancel the race scheduled for June 11- 13 was made by F1 Turkey broadcaster S Sport, it said.

Formula 1 has yet to officially confirm the news that arrives after Britain added Turkey to its red list of high-risk countries for COVID-19, requiring 10 days in quarantine for returning visitors.

Turkey had been announced as the replacement for the Canadian Grand Prix earlier this month as COVID-19 restrictions have left the international sport scrambling for locations.
