Its 16 races but not 16 tracks If they are the same weather conditions and the first race is boring who is going to tune into the second one? They will have double the amount of practice and there will be no question marks about strategy I cant see F1 going to South America. I was speaking to someon...

Up for sale

First thing any investor is going to do is follow the other small team blue print and get parts from the manufactures

Amazed Claire Williams still hasn't stepped down.

We now have the bizarre situation where Spain are now telling everyone they are open from 1st July whilst the British FCO are advising against all international travel

Spain and Portugal are both trying to attract races behind closed doors, I'm now very confident there will be a 2020 season

Zazu

Cant see Silverstone happening at all. Will be a nightmare exempting F1 whilst fining Joe average £1,000 if they don't isolate for 14days

Zazu

Amazing how Mclaren keep pleading poverty in order to gain government backing then sign one of the most expensive drivers on the grid

Zazu

Italian press are reporting the story like Sainz is already a done deal

I think Vettel would be quite happy driving in the midfield. Like Kimi, has a family back home, world title and just happy to enjoy racing an F1 car

Zazu

I wear a mask at work and you get used to wearing them very quickly

However, I wouldn't wanted to see them become the norm in public places. Crime will go through the roof. Shoplifting, mobile phone robberies, bag snatching and worse

Zazu

They can't put pros in because F1, most people and media would prefer to see Leclerc etc winning rather than some unknown teenager

i was looking at the 2019 f1 team payouts. i don't really understand this spending cap ? at a $145 million cap, does liberty just give everyone $145 million ? because even toro rosso got 52 million last year. just seems silly to me Its a limit on what teams are allowed to spend. Nothing to do with ...

Red Bull have got Sergio Aguero into this week's virtual GP. Massive coup for the series

Zazu

USA isn't a very good example. They currently have 30million+ new claimants since March and people on low incomes are now actually earning more money than when they worked full time. Plenty of economists are going nuts about it Between furlough and government employees, in the UK the government is c...

With Football, even the mayor of Liverpool is against it knowing crowds will just gather outside stadiums/at other locations Hungary have banned events with more than 500 people Organisers saying they are going to get it reclassified as a broadcasting event rather than a sport to get passed it.... W...

Every soundbite from F1 doesn't match up with what's going on in the world. The publics opposition to Premier League football returning behind closed doors has amazed me. Cant see Silverstone running during July at all. Hungary and Belgium currently have bans on major events which would mean F1 woul...

Am I the only person who has no desire to see races at the same track a week a part?

Also, UK struggling with keeping people in lockdown now. Obviously a lot will have changed by July but seeing an F1 race carried out as normal (sins crowd) isn't going to help keep the general public in line

Zazu

These same reports name Giovanazzi as a potential replacement....

There's more chance of Binotto driving the car himself

Zazu

Renault have furloughed staff and they are part owned by the French state As Zac Brown said at the time, they have a duty to their shareholders. Some of the football teams are going to spend £50million+ on a player at the first opportunity whilst claiming government assistance for the cleaner and ki...

The European teams still operate using US dollars. They'll be the odd exception but sponsorship deals, prize money etc will all be in it. Its the world's business currency

Zazu

If worse came to the worst, and F1 was cancelled for 2 seasons (this is a very real possibility) I am sure most or all the struggling teams would simply be bought out by somebody. The furloughed staff and organisation still has future value. The government arent going to pay wages for 2 years!!! I ...

Boss of MotoGP saying its difficult to see races before a vaccine which isn't due til next year

Zazu

Seeing as there was 19 esports/Pro racers I don't understand why they still had limited damage and allowed some assists It wasn't a very good race but I could happily watch Esports. I think I'd watch it on TV over any motorsport series other than F1 and MotoGP Leclerc strikes me as the kind of guy w...

Open golf in July cancelled, can only mean bad news for Silverstone

Zazu

Esports is going to overtake motorsport. I used to think it would take a decade or so, now I think it will be in the next couple of years. Going to be worse than 2008 for finding sponsors now. Car manufacturers going to find it hard to justify spending millions on F1 when they're not selling cars. C...

It's scary how thick people

If you go on twitter it's not the odd crank, there's hordes of people who think 5g is causing coranvirus. Have people with millions of followers linking to conspiracy theory videos on YouTube and the mob comes out saying they have to destroy the masts

Zazu

He'd practiced 5hrs a day for the eight days. Looking forward to races at decent tracks

Don't understand why Verstappen doesn't get involved. He'd be up to speed in a day or so.

I think people are dreaming with timeframes. In China there were 60 confirmed cases before Christmas, they have only only just started opening up Wuhan with heavy restrictions now. Open air travel seems a very long way away to me Unless Liberty waiver or reduce the hosting fee cant see many tracks r...

Mclaren furlough staff but haven't said how many

Quite unbelievable an F1 team whose majority shareholder is the Bahrain government's wealth fund are eligible.

Surely Williams next

Unfortunately it may well be that herd immunity is the only long term way out of this, in which case we probably have the worst natural disaster of the modern age on our hands. I think the best hybrid strategy is to maintain the distancing measures as long as possible while pouring massive amounts ...

I won't be self isolating. I've spoken to several people in their 60s over the weekend and they fully intend to carry on as normal and are just as nonchalant about it. Crazy to close the entire world, what's going to happen if we get another virus next year. Everyone just stay in doors for the rest ...

Vettel Fan wrote:So dumb. They're making a big deal over nothing.

More people are going to die due to the economic impact than the virus itself.
(World in general not just economic impact of F1)

The season was going to be a snoozfest with Mercedes dominating and teams stopping development to focus on '21.

Its bad situation but couldnt have happened in a better year

From a personal pov I want Monaco and Singapore to go ahead as I have tickets and holidays booked

Zazu

It's all down to money; hosting fees, spectator refunds, TV rights etc. F1/FIA wanted Victoria state to cancel it and Victoria State wanted F1 to cancel it. F1/FIA had to buckle in the end

Zazu

It's 0300 in Melbourne.

I'd expect a press conference tomorrow morning

Premier of Victoria and F1 has been baffling this week. If Bernice was in charge I'd assume it was to garner maximum coverage for publicity

Zazu

The race will be cancelled

Going to be far too much pressure on F1 and Victoria state

Zazu

MotoGP changed the calendar three times in a week!!!

Currently have 10 races in 12 weekends to finish the season...and they're spain to Thailand, Argentina to Spain, Japan to Australia with USA in the mix kind of logistics

Zazu

I think DAS is a complete red herring.

Mercedes will dominate without it. If Ferrari no longer have their engine advantage esp in qualifying going to be a very dull season

Zazu

The entire saga is comical.

They have confirmed cases of it in Melbourne, the state Premier has said theres going to be no issue with F1 or any other major sporting events....before adding its inevitable all schools will have to close at some point and entire workforces have to work from home.

Zazu

MotoGP looking very amateurish making knee jerk reactions. They changed the calendar last week and they have then changed the calendar again today moving Valencia back a week and moving COTA to November. Im sure it will change again... I dont understand why people travelling to the race (riders, pre...

So F1 went to hybrid engines, plan to go carbon neutral.... and signs a sponsorship partnership deal with the world's largest oil producer

They aren't testing at Heathrow or Manchester. Not sure about others. It was raised in the press conference with PM and health minister yesterday and they just said Italy stopped flights from China but still got it....

If you look at the mortality charts the disease is comparable to the flu in people under 60. If you are over 80 a 14.8% mortality rate is obviously alarming If people over 60 self isolated (most don't have jobs) the world could just carry on as normal. People keep saying health is more important tha...
