The Vietnamese Grand Prix (Vietnamese: Giải đua xe Công thức 1 Việt Nam, lit.'The Vietnamese Formula 1 race')[1] was a proposed Formula One Grand Prix that was first due to take place in April 2020.[2] The race was initially postponed and later cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and was postponed indefinitely.[3] The Grand Prix was removed from the 2021 calendar because of the arrest of Hanoi People's Committee Chairman Nguyễn Đức Chung on corruption charges unrelated to the Grand Prix that later led to him being sentenced to ten years in prison in 2022.[4]
