What Happened to F1 In Vietnam?

It's a bit of an unknown. When Liberty Media took ownership of Formula 1, the first new race deal they made was with Vietnam back in 2018. Fair to say that this was a historic deal and race. The event was planned for 2020 but here we are going into 2022 with the future of the Vietnam Grand Prix unclear. The Hanoi Street Circuit was an interesting one, designed by Hermann Tilke, fans were critical of its layout. For me, i can't bring myself to judge a track i have never seen a race on. So on that front, we may never know how good it is. This is the story of what was set to be a normal deal, but ended up falling apart due to the pandemic, and the main organiser getting sentenced to 5 years jail. Enjoy.
