Formula One has confirmed Vietnam will host its first grand prix in April 2020, with the race set to be held in the country's capital city Hanoi.
The 5.565km circuit is located 12km west of the centre of Hanoi and will be part street circuit, part purpose built. The race is backed by Vietnamese conglomerate Vingroup, which specialises in real estate but this year has recently launched the first Vietnamese car manufacturer VinFast.
After plans to hold a grand prix in Miami were indefinitely postponed earlier this year, the race in Vietnam will be the first to be secured under Liberty Media's ownership of F1.
