<p>By Alan Baldwin</p> <p>LONDON, 릴게임 Feb 10 (Reuters) – Portugal’s Algarve circuit is set to return to the Formula One calendar this season, taking the vacant slot left by Vietnam on May 2.</p> <p>The BBC and Sky Sports television said teams would be told officially at a meeting of the Formula One commission on Thursday that the third round of the season would be in Portugal.</p> <p>Sources told Reuters the news, 릴게임 first reported by motorsport.com, was correct.</p> <p>The Algarve circuit near Portimao hosted a grand 릴게임 prix for the first time last October on a heavily revised calendar due to the COVID-19 pandemic.</p> <p>The return would have been confirmed last month but that was thrown into doubt by the country seeing a spike in cases and imposing a nationwide lockdown.</p> <p>Bahrain, which opens the season on March 28, could have hosted two successive races if the plans for Portugal had been cancelled.</p> <p>The Portuguese Grand Prix will be on the weekend before the Spanish round at Barcelona’s Circuit de Catalunya.</p> <p>That would mean the mostly British-based teams would stay abroad, avoiding the need for a period of hotel quarantine that would arise under present rules if they returned directly from Portugal.</p> <p>Portugal is on Britain’s ‘red list’ of countries with a heightened risk.</p> <p>Formula One personnel have to undergo regular testing during the season, 릴게임 with teams operating in protective ‘bubbles’ at racetracks.</p> <p>New F1 chief executive Stefano Domenicali said last week that the sport still aimed for a record 23 races this year after holding just 17 last season.
