The opening eight races of the truncated 2020 Formula One season have been confirmed, with Spielberg and Silverstone hosting two each.
All of the events are provisionally slated to be held behind closed doors and "under the strongest safety procedures", according to a statement published on F1's official Twitter account.
It also said further races will be announced in the coming weeks as the sport emerges from a coronavirus-enforced shutdown.
