More details from F1 accredited journalist Joe Saward:

Quote:
The teams met on Thursday night and voted whether to race or not. Mercedes, Red Bull, AlphaTauri and Racing Point voted to go ahead, while Ferrari, Renault and Alfa Romeo voted not to. McLaren did not attend the meeting, while Williams and Haas abstained. However after the vote Mercedes changed its position after discussions with headquarters and thus the vote went from 4-3 to 3-4.

...

It remains to be seen if Bahrain can go ahead but the word is that Vietnam has already been cancelled.

I've been to a supermarket which is in an out of the way place, just a few people in store and everything in stock..! I'm avoiding Costco and Aldi as huge queues in those stores.
I buy my food in the Delhaize and Carrefour . Meat I buy at my butcher .
Just came back from work and drove by the Delhaize . The Police was there !

I'm just wondering if it's a matter of time before smaller scale motorsports events (SCCA,NASA, GTA, etc) follow suit.

Indycar's shutting it down, too. Haven't seen anything from NASCAR

And It's still there ...

I would assume they'd follow suit.

NASCAR initially decided to run the next two races behind closed doors. They have since cancelled the next two races at Atlanta and Homestead.

Well, Formula E decided to halt the entire season for the time being. If the situation doesn't improve in the next few months, we could very well be looking at more cancellations on F1.

JD said events are going on unless they are forced to not have them by local jurisdictions. They will lock out fans if they have to in order for the competition to go on.
