		</div><p>Drivers’ representative Alex Wurz has described Formula One’s safety planning as <i>“immaculate”</i> ahead of a planned return to competition.</p>
<p>Wurz, chairman of the Grand Prix Drivers’ Association, discussed the measures being taken in a teleconference with key figures from F1, including Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel and FIA president Jean Todt.</p>
<p>The current plan is to begin racing behind closed doors in Austria on July 5 and Wurz was encouraged by what he heard.</p>
<p>He told The Guardian: “<i>They are really trying their best and doing it in a typical F1 safety way, which is immaculate.</i></p>
<p><i>“The drivers have been reassured today, I can only underline that. I feel confident that the right steps are being made in an efficient time frame and unless outside circumstances intervene I believe we could start the 2020 season in Austria in July.</i></p>
<p><i>“Motor racing has been a pioneer in safety. Right now it’s not about saving a driver’s life or a spectator or a marshal but the whole safety protocol, analysing it and identifying strengths and weaknesses. What we have now, the idea of a closed-loop system at a race venue is really impressive.”</i></p>
<p>But Wurz admitted an outbreak of coronavirus would soon shift the thinking.</p>
<p>He said: <i>“Things can change quite quickly because you have many nations and nationalities involved. If half of the paddock was stuck in quarantine that would throw a spanner in the gearbox of going racing in July.”</i></p>
