We’ve also advised the teams we will give them a 10-minute warning.”It’s the nature of the area and location. We will judge a time, from an FIA point of view the safety of all participants is paramount and not something we will compromise.”The cancellation has denied Ferrari F1 juniors Mick Schumacher and Callum Ilott the opportunity to make their anticipated practice debuts for Alfa Romeo and Haas respectively.F1 is visiting the Nurburgring for the first time in seven years, with the German venue stepping in to replace rounds on the original 2020 calendar which were shelved because of the coronavirus pandemic.Second practice is due to get underway at 15:00 local time, three hours’ from now.”4
