LONDON (Reuters) - Formula One's
10 teams will be limited to a maximum 80 people each at races held
without spectators when the delayed season gets going in July.
Revised 2020 sporting regulations published by the governing
International Automobile Federation (FIA) detailed the conditions
for such 'closed events'.
"From the start of a closed event until the declaration of the
official classification of the race, no competitor may have more
than a total of 80 team personnel within the confines of the
circuit," the rules said.
"No more than 60 of these team personnel who are within the confines
of the circuit may be associated in any way with the operation of
the cars."
It said staff whose duties were solely connected with hospitality,
sponsors, marketing, public relations, security or driving trucks to
and from the event were not considered operational personnel.
