Formula One CEO Chase Carey has recently paid a short notice visit to Hanoi to inspect the construction of the racing track, local media reported.

Besides, other makeshift items such as stands, safety fences, among others, are also urgently prepared to be ready for installation in January 2020.

During this visit to Hanoi, Chase Carey also had a meeting with Chairman of the Hanoi People's Committee Nguyen Duc Chung.

Chase Carey and Chung agreed on the transfer of technology and event organizing skills of the race. F1 will always support Hanoi city and Vietnam Grand Prix in preparing and promoting F1 Vietnam Grand Prix worldwide, the F1 CEO affirmed.

Chase Carey believes Hanoi will host a unique F1 race with a distinct identity and expressed delight with the construction progress of Hanoi’s race track in such a short time period, and expected preparation works would be completed as schedule.
