In its June 1 article titled “Lewis Hamilton should only go to Ferrari if they almost double his salary in mammoth offer claims F1 expert”, an accompanying graphic listing the races on the 2023 Formula One calendar displayed China’s flag next to the Singapore Grand Prix, to be held at the Marina Bay Street Circuit on Sept 17.
A similar graphic appeared in at least one other article by the publication on June 4 about the F1 season ahead of the June 18 Canadian Grand Prix.
