PARIS — Formula 1 will finally get underway with back-to-back races at the Austrian Grand Prix in July as part of an eight-race European swing.

The Red Bull Ring in Spielberg will host races on July 5 and 12, governing body FIA said Tuesday.

The next race will be in Hungary on July 19 followed by consecutive races at the British GP at Silverstone on Aug. 2 and 9 after the British government exempted elite sports from an upcoming quarantine on foreign visitors.

Further races are scheduled for Spain on Aug. 16 and Belgium on Aug. 30, with Italy completing the European swing on Sept. 6.

“Over the past two months Formula 1 has been working closely with all partners, authorities, the FIA and the 10 teams to create a revised calendar that will allow a return to racing in a way that is safe,” the FIA said. “Due to the ongoing fluidity of the COVID-19 situation internationally, the details of the wider calendar will be finalized in the coming weeks.”

There will be no spectators allowed to attend, although there may be later in the year if health conditions allow it.

Four races have been canceled this season because of the coronavirus pandemic — the season-opening Australian GP, the Monaco GP, the French GP and the Netherlands GP.

F1 hopes to hold 15 to 18 of the scheduled 22 races by rearranging the six that were postponed and finishing the season in Bahrain and Abu Dhabi in December.

Notre Dame-Navy shifted from Ireland

ANNAPOLIS, Md. — The college football season opener between Notre Dame and Navy has been moved out of Ireland because of the pandemic.

The Irish and Midshipmen were scheduled to meet in Dublin on Aug. 29, but will seek to play at the Naval Academy during the Labor Day weekend. The decision to move the venue came after discussions between the Irish government, medical authorities and the leadership teams at Navy and Notre Dame.

“Our priority must be ensuring the health and safety of all involved,” Navy athletics director Chet Gladchuk said. “I am expecting that we will still be able to play Notre Dame as our season opener, but there is still much to be determined by health officials.”

Notre Dame and Navy planned to stage the 94th consecutive installment of the longest continuous intersectional rivalry in the United States at Aviva Stadium in Ireland. Instead, the schools will strive to play at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis, Md., on Sept. 5 or 6.

Hawaii player arrested in quarantine case

HONOLULU — A University of Hawaii football player was among those arrested on suspicion of violating a 14-day quarantine imposed on travelers to control the spread of the coronavirus, officials said.

The Hawaii COVID-19 Joint Information Center said Venasio Vaipulu was arrested Monday by special agents from the attorney general’s office after a witness reported he had returned from a trip on May 18 but left his designated quarantine location almost every day.

It wasn’t immediately clear whether he had an attorney. A voicemail message left with the public defender’s office was not immediately returned. University of Hawaii spokesman Dan Meisenzahl said the school had no comment.

An emergency order issued by the governor requires that people arriving from out of state or traveling between islands stay in their lodgings for 14 days. They may leave only for medical emergencies.

Vaipulu is listed on the football team’s roster as Solo Vaipulu, a junior offensive lineman. Last year, he played in 10 games and started in nine.

Agents arrested Vaipulu on suspicion of a self-quarantine violation and unsworn falsification to authority. He was booked, charged and his bail was set at $4,000.

Elsewhere

South Carolina: Men’s basketball coach Frank Martin said he has recovered from a case of COVID-19.

Martin said he tested positive last month.

Martin, 54, said he didn’t have to go to the hospital. He said he had no significant symptoms of the virus other than some fatigue. Two weeks later at a follow-up visit, a coronavirus test came back negative. Martin said no one else in his family was affected by the virus.

Bowling Green: The Ohio school is working with alumni and former players to reinstate the Falcons’ baseball program.

The said on May 15 it was dropping baseball because of a projected $2 million athletic budget shortfall stemming from the pandemic. Cutting baseball was expected to save $500,000 a year. No other sports were eliminated.

N.C. State: Athletics director Boo Corrigan said the school has begun a schedule allowing student-athletes to return in phases to campus, with the first wave of football players permitted to return to student housing by June 20.

The school announced details of the plan Tuesday in an open letter from Corrigan, who said the plan is to return via “the safest and most responsible path moving forward.”

Corrigan said the first phase has started by allowing members of the football, men’s basketball and women’s basketball programs who live locally to receive examinations and coronavirus testing.

If cleared, athletes would be allowed to participate in voluntary workouts, though they would be divided into small groups.

The second phase begins with football players returning to student housing “no later than” June 20, followed by men’s and women’s basketball players.

The third phase would bring back athletes in fall sports, though Corrigan said only that will come “later this summer” with additional details coming later. The final phase is the return of all other programs ahead of the fall semester.

CONCORD, NH — An elderly driver from North Conway was injured and taken to the hospital crashing at a tollbooth in Rochester Thursday. The driver, 65, was in a Subaru Impreza driving north on Route 16 when, according to New Hampshire State Police, he attempted to change lanes, drove into a concrete barrier, and went airborne at just after 1 p.m. After that, the Subaru struck a 2019 Chevrolet van being driven by a woman from Barrington.

The Subaru rested on its side and the driver was taken to Portsmouth Regional Hospital by Rochester EMTs. State police did not report whether or not the woman was injured during the incident.

State police were assisted at the scene by Rochester firefighters and the New Hampshire Department of Transportation.

The cause of this crash remains under investigation, according to Lt. John Hennessey of Troop A. Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact Trooper Daniel Peete, New Hampshire State Police, Troop-A, at 603-223-8490 or Daniel.Peete@dos.nh.gov.

More Commercial Vehicles Stopped

On Tuesday, state troopers were in Ossipee conducting commercial motor vehicle enforcement when they stopped a 2018 Chevrolet box truck on Route 25, reportedly without a U.S. Department Transportation number. The vehicle was pulled over and inspected. The driver, Juan Yupangui, 39, of Ecuador, “did not possess a valid driver’s license, his driving privileges were suspended, was unable to communicate in English as required of commercial motor vehicle operators, and was not medically qualified to drive the vehicle,” according to Lt. Andrew Player of Troop G. Four individuals were also found in the cargo area of the vehicle and not wearing seatbelts as required, according to a report.

An inspection of the truck reportedly found numerous infractions including worn tires, cords that were exposed, and tires that were contacted each other on a rear axle, and the anti-lock braking system was not functioning properly.

Yupangui was charged with operating after suspension.

During the investigation, the owner of the company, Juan Quizhpi, 26, of Haverhill, Massachusetts, arrived in a 2017 F-350 truck. His truck, according to Player, also failed to display the company name and US DOT information. The vehicle also did not have proof of inspection, didn’t have a fire extinguisher, and the company failed to correct issues cited in a previous motor vehicle inspection, state police reported. Quizhpi was also accused of not having possession of a medical certificate. He was cited to appear in court in February.

During the investigations, a third contractor arrived at the site. Andrew Averill, 48, of Hollis, Maine, was driving a 2018 GMC Sierra that also was not properly marked and was not inspected, according to Player. Averill, state police said, also didn’t possess his medical certification — something he was previously cited for. He was given a summons and is also due in court in February.

Man Accused Of Submitting False ID

A Nashua man was arrested on tampering with public and private records and driver’s license prohibition after an incident at the Nashua Division of Motor Vehicles Monday.

State police were called to the DMV to investigate a man who appeared to have a fraudulent driver’s license. State police were eventually able to identify the driver as Julio Garcia Diaz, 35, of Nashua. State troopers accused him of presenting an application for a driver’s license along with a Puerto Rican driver’s license to clerks.

“Both displayed indicators of potential fraud,” according to Player.

As they furthered the investigation, troopers learned that Diaz “had not held a valid license since 2010 and that the license presented was fraudulent.”

Diaz was arrested and is due in court on March 4.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Trooper First Class Aaron Richards at 603-223-8778 or by email at Aaron.Richards@dos.nh.gov.
