Its absolutely baffling Italy has pretty much closed down the entire country but Ferrari will be fine as work and other exemptions are permitted Its all driven by the media, CNN have taken it upon themselves to upgrade it to a pandemic. This is the price you pay when they have to fill news channels ...

I wonder how much money would be lost by doing that? I've no idea but I get the feeling that its financially better to run the race at an empty circuit rather than postpone it to a later date. Yes. And how many would show up if it was open to the public. Without any quarantine restriction a lot. If...

MotoGP in USA scheduled for 5th April a major doubt after Austin announced a state of emergency banning events of more than 2500 people unless they could guarantee coronavirus prevention Lots of major music festivals have been cancelled F1 staying quiet but season looking like it's going to be a com...

We've not had a winner from outside Mercedes, Red Bull and Ferrari since 2013 so it's probably Albon or bust. Never have we had a period of such stagnation. Without the help of a safety car, I think you have to go back to 2015 for a non big 3 team even getting on the podium. Even with safety cars a...

Vietnam are now imposing 14 day medical quarantine on anyone travelling from Italy

Lots of races going to want the none existent free weekends in the second half of the season

Zazu

Thailand MotoGP cancelled as well

F1 in Bahrain and Vietnam must be looking very ropey

Zazu

Amazes me its been cancelled. Qatar pay fortunes to host the race and remember them racing on a Monday in the past after it was damp on raceday (race is underlights). It gets hardly any spectators so could have easily had it as a closed event. Following this I cant see F1 races happening in any coun...

Zazu

Seen it all. I thought there were 5 or 6 excellent episodes and a few that were very meh

Was very surprised how blunt George Russell was when within the team. However, must be bizarre racing in a Williams then sitting in a Mercedes for a test and witnessing first hand the haves and have nots.

Zazu

They've cancelled the season opener of MotoGP due to travel restrictions on anyone thats been in Italy or Japan. Bear in mind this is Qatar with almost bottomless wealth to host the race. I cant see the Bahrain F1 going ahead and if they have problems in Vietnam its feasible there will be nearly 2 m...

Rosberg and Hamilton racing each other caused a bunch of problems which isn't the case now When Mercedes have an off day, Red Bull (verstappen) and Ferrari also have to have a bad day at the same time for anyone else to have a chance. People get all romantic but merc, ferrari, red bull could start l...

Zazu

If Ferrari have lost their straight line advantage (higher downforce philosophy and/or engine mode changes) I think only Mercedes and Verstappen will win races.

Williams were retiring cars due to a lack of parts last year. Clare Williams lives on another planet, she needs to double the staff and treble the budget if they want to get anywhere near the big3. If it wasn't for the insane power advantage the initial Mercedes hybrid offered at the start of the cu...

People talk about this season being more competitive because o...

The Mercedes is crazily dominant at some tracks. I think any driver on the grid could win in it at Abu Dhabi, Barcelona etc. Bottas had 9/10ths advantage over nearest non merc at Barca then F2 driver topped the test in it the next day. After seeing how badly Gasly did in the Red Bull though... Strol...

I think Alpha Tauri will finish fourth in the constructors. Expect it to be very much a second Red Bull team now

Zazu

I never understand why the Sky coverage has been dumbed down so much. The same has happened on BTSport with MotoGP. Cant imagine many F1 fans tuning into a free practice on a Friday want to hear about bacon sandwiches etc

Zazu

Amazed Baku is so low, super fast low down force Street circuit with great scenery. Bahrain is my favourite race of the year, i love the track, it produces great races and looks spectacular at night. Just a shame about location Barcelona is a great circuit just produces boring races. Can't think of ...

Zazu

Completely unsurprisingly but 5 years just shows how impressive he has been both in the car and with his off track qualities. He could easily be with Ferrari for a decade+

iirc when Perez resigned with Racing Point he had the longest contract in the paddock and it was only 3 years

Zazu

Can't imagine any major sport person caring at all about the award Hamilton on Graham Norton was cringe worthy. Does anyone know why he does so many chat shows? Always looks awkward so assuming he doesn't enjoy them, then has to fend off stupid questions such as why doesn't the car have air conditio...

Zazu

Could have handled it better but he's only there due to the money he brings. I know they talked of dropping brno over contract negotiations and lack of payments so I think there me may be more to that story. Dorna money/benefits if they take Zarco will be worth far more to the team and they have a b...

A lot of riders are gunning for that seat in 2021. As something of a MotoGP outsider (I sort of follow the sport, but not nearly to the extent I do F1) I have to ask why? It seems clear enough to me that there's nothing special about the bike, and it's all down to Marquez. Why does anyone want to p...

I love that we still have teams in F1 that do this kind of thing just for the sake of doing it. They get good marketing out of it, and it's a bit of fun.

Marquez is so far ahead of everyone else the only criteria for his teammate is someone who won't annoy him. Alex Marquez is a very good rider. Been very lucky to get the factory gig, but I can't think of a rider who can feel hard done by for not getting it. Crutchlow probably best other candidate, h...

Aston Martin are the poster child for how not to run a car company. Their roadcars have Mercedes engines, they sponsor Red Bull but even casual fans know its got a Honda engine. They lose money hand over fist and thats reflected in the share price over the last year or so The Valkyrie is exceptional...

He has a deal with MV for a limited edition bike, I'd be very surprised if he rides at all on roads when cameras aren't there I'm not expecting anything catastrophic but pecco Bagnaia fractured his wrist today coming out of the pits.

He's not going to be going at 215mph. He'll tip toe round like Alonso did at the Honda day a few years back. As I understand rossi will on track in the f1 car at the same tim Seems a peculiar choice, the track temp this morning was single figures and that's only going to get worse. If they're lucky ...

It's a waste of money. So ill conceived to believe they could achieve the success of others on half the budget

That article is dreadful. Technology nowadays is a world away from the 90s. Just because the gaps between cars is smaller doesn't make it less dominant. Not sure if it's Hamilton or more the way he's covered and over analysed in the media but contract negotiation headlines on the sameday merc lay of...

I'm not convinced by Alex Marquez. Took a long time for him to take the Moto2 title and generally I think real class is apparent earlier than that.. Very much the Ralf to Marc's Michael.... Marc Marquez was a freak since he got competitive in 125s so there's no point comparing anyone to him. They c...

Glad to see Vinales competitive. Hopefully Yamaha can improve the engine for next year as I think hes the only rider who can challenge Marquez for a title

I HATE it when the drivers are in the cooldown room and crofty won't stop talking. We miss the discussions. On channel 4 when they were live, Ben Edwards always says lets listen into what they are saying and stops talking unless there is total scilence. Crofty ruins the coverage in so many ways.......

All races are first lap after 190 miles except Monaco I agree Singapore needs to be shortened, could quite easily be reduced to the same length as Monaco. If its dry Its a slam dunk one stopper.

Lorenzo style makes him hero or zero not injuries. He had some horrific performances whilst riding the Yamaha its just he finished near the front still because the gap between the haves and have nots was massive Marquez is an absolute freak and if he stays healthy will obliterate all modern records....

Lorenzo is as good as ever, as proved when he got the Ducati working at Mugello last year Stoner smashed everyone when he was on the Honda. The bikes have never been more competive and neither have the riders. Id rate Vinales far higher than Pedrosa who benefited from being on factory Honda when onl...

Horrific advert for F1. Can just turn over after the first corner.
