After the announcement on Friday that Formula E and the FIA were to temporarily suspend the 2019/20 season due to the outbreak of COVID-19, there was an outpouring of support from the teams and drivers showing their solidarity in this tough period.

Formula E is always a step ahead. We will never gamble with the well-being and safety of our fans and personnel.
This decision was taken long ago and it is the correct one. We will come back stronger.
Stay tuned. https://t.co/cthLzGCrOH
As a racing driver I would of course like to race, but in the current situation it is the right decision to take a break. The safety and health of the team members, fans and everyone involved in Formula E has the highest priority. (1/2) pic.twitter.com/DESQe3K1gm

A difficult decision for FIA and Formula E to make but absolutely the right one. Looking forward to getting back on the track as soon as possible and our thoughts are with those worse affected. #COVIDー19#ABBformulaE@EnvisionVirgin@fiahttps://t.co/ginUy7Pix2

COVID-19 strikes again as the FIA and Formula E make the right decision to freeze all races for a 2 month period - hoping to get back racing soon, but people’s health takes absolute precedence!

Motorsport is our passion, and we feel very sorry that Formula E races are suspended. Especially for us in our rookie season, in which gaining experience is a key factor. But health is the first priority for everyone, so we fully support the decision of @fia and @FIAFormulaE. https://t.co/on5sLDWs99
