The Formula E race scheduled to take place in Moscow on June 4 has been cancelled, organisers announced on Friday. In a statement, organisers said the race in the Russian capital had been dropped "due to recent and unforeseen circumstances related to road closures." "While it is unfortunate news not to race in Moscow on June 4, we looked at a number of alternative options as a replacement but were not able to find a viable solution on that specific date," said Formula E CEO Alejandro Agag, who added that attempts to move the race to Monaco at short notice were unsuccessful.
"We will now focus on the three remaining races in Berlin and the double-header in London, which I'm sure will deliver a thrilling conclusion in the battle for the championship." The seventh and most recent race of the season was staged in Paris last month, with Lucas di Grassi winning to stretch his lead at the top of the drivers' standings.
