Zo reageren de Formule 1-coureurs op de afgelasting van Australische Grand Prix

Really sad news at the #AusGP . Cancelling the first GP of the season is a hard decision but it had to be made. Now I just hope the best for everyone in the affected regions. Lets hope this pandemic outbreak is under control asap. Please people be conscious and stay safe! pic.twitter.com/FDROYckGe8 — Carlos Sainz (@Carlossainz55) March 13, 2020

We'll have to wait a bit longer to get back in the car. I was really looking forward to get back behind the wheel but this is the best decision, the health of everyone is the priority. Stay safe everyone ❤️ pic.twitter.com/vKvo5lCtxG — Charles Leclerc (@Charles_Leclerc) March 12, 2020

We were all looking forward to the start of the 2020 season. Of course I’m disappointed but we all understand that in the end this was the right decision. Feeling sorry for all the fans and everyone involved. Stay safe 🙏🏼 pic.twitter.com/XwPCOc621H — Max Verstappen (@Max33Verstappen) March 13, 2020

I’m devastated I can’t compete at my home GP here in Melbourne & get the season started. Ultimately though the right decision has been made & I think everyone can understand this is something we’ve never seen before. Sorry to all fans who came out for the support. Much love 💙 — Daniel Ricciardo (@danielricciardo) March 13, 2020

It goes without saying that I was extremely excited to finally make my debut in Formula 1 this weekend but it will have to wait. The safety and well being of everyone involved has to be the priority. Stay safe everyone and hopefully we can go racing sometime soon🙏🏻 pic.twitter.com/38W0gbxXlt — Nicholas Latifi (@NicholasLatifi) March 13, 2020

Llegamos a 🇦🇺con mucha ilusión, después de tanta preparación tristemente no vamos iniciar la temporada! Pero ahora lo más importante es la salud de todos, hay que ser conscientes y tomar todas las medidas que estén a nuestro alcance. Mucha fuerza para todos y cuidémonos mucho!!!! pic.twitter.com/puRMUjnKAC — Sergio Pérez (@SChecoPerez) March 13, 2020

No race here in Melbourne. Feels like a big thing for us as we prepared very hard for it BUT actually a very small thing compare to the challenge the world is facing right now. Stay safe everyone and try to fight #Covid_19 as much as you can. 🙏 pic.twitter.com/rHcquFLgNz — Romain Grosjean (@RGrosjean) March 12, 2020

Stay safe everyone, and let’s hope this whole COVID-19 situation gets better soon. Shame we can’t race here in Australia, but keeping everybody health & safety is priority. Was really looking forward to start the season, but we will have to wait. Lets hope for better news soon❤️ pic.twitter.com/Shqz41hWPE — PIERRE GASLY 🇫🇷 (@PierreGASLY) March 13, 2020
