Fan fact some of those 3 tracks are better than others formula 1 tracks.

I just looked at the Portimao track because I didn't remeber it and from what I can see, I see a lot of spots where they can overtake.

Also I didn't know about Portimao but when I see how it looks like, it's a very interesting circuit.

Lets hope the track isn't too small that overtaking isn't that hard. Otherwise it would be another procession.  Roll Eyes

This track looks very interesting and expect an exciting race because no team has data for this race. I read a little bit at the website.

https://autodromodoalgarve.com/the-park/racing-track/

Autódromo Internacional do Algarve is one of the best and most modern racing circuits in the world.

Quote
The racing track was developed as part of an innovative global project to provide a comprehensive range of facilities to the most varied sectors of the motor industry, from constructors, to racing teams and companies, allowing them to present, test and develop their products.

The design characteristics of the track provide spectators with impressive and far-reaching views from any grandstand.

The most awaited debut of the motoring show “The Grand Tour” (Amazon Prime, 2016) was shot at Autódromo Internacional do Algarve, taking the 3 supercars – McLaren P1, Porsche 918, Ferrari LaFerrari – to their limits. Spoiler alert: Jeremy Clarkson lost the bet.

One of the modern tracks at the world, when was the track build? And only F1 have test at this circuit and no race?

Fastest Lap from 2009

It's now official. Marc Marquez will not start this weekend. If he did, it wasn't responsible in my opinion.

Yep is official, he will skip the GP.

This is an huge chance for Quartararo, if we will again he will have +50 points in the advantage of Marques.
In this probably shorter championship it will be a huge advantage since the fewer the GPs will be the bigger the variance it will be, and having 2 GP of advantage it will be almost no recoverable.

That is the beauty of motorsports.Anything can happen.It is really interesting for the wider audience which love to see battles until the last turn of the last race in MotoGp or Formula1.These Championships shorter because of Covid 19 sure are making MotoGp and Formula 1 much better to watch on Tv and this is a win for everyone of us fans.

That's correct after FP4 he gives up,to much strain during acceleration. My opinion is also Vetter for bis healt when he make a break to Brno. Then he comes without pain back. Also respect for him and Rins I think the have many pain until the driving!

And not to forget #46 are back at starting Position 4 ✌ sorry for Vinales but congratulation to Quartarar!

At Formula 1, i think that's good more and older exciting tracks like Imola 👍.

At time the MotoGp FP4 runs, Marc and Eine are driving that's amazing and I waiting for the Quali and curious about the result.

Today F1 added 3 more races to calendar - Nurburgring, Portimao and Imola:
https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.breaking-formula-1-adds-portimao-nurburgring-and-2-day-event-in-imola-to.CGyDtalz9hBwCojE2QGCI.html
There wasn't F1 races in Nurbrugring in recent years, but from what I remember, races there weren't very exciting. I know nothing about Portimao, so it will be interesting to see race there.
At same it was confirmed that there won't be race in USA, Brazil, Mexico and Canada. It's pitty, because races in Brazil and USA usually is very interesting.
And at the same time some events of IndyCar and NASCAR is hrld with spectators...

What a comeback,to race at Imola the legendary track where unfortunately Senna the best F1 driver of all times for me lost his life on 1 May 1994.This track is a really difficult and beautiful one and the good thing is that the security of F1 sport now is at the top level and fatalities are very rare in our time.

@Cnut237 I’m really surprised that Ferrari isn’t sacking Binnotto, but this restructuring also makes sense considering how successful Mercedes has been after it’s implementation so let’s hope that it works for Ferrari too. @CryptoViking you’re right as Ferrari has indeed sacrificed a year because they’re planning for long term success which is vital for them, and in my personal opinion post 2022 they should be able to win titles like they use to win before.

I'm no expert, but often there's an easy way to do things and there's the right way, which is perhaps more difficult. It's very easy to sack the man at the top and say "let's start again", doing the same wrong things in the same wrong way, just with someone else at the helm. The right way I would think is to make an honest, in-depth assessment of the current status, and how this can realistically be changed in this year and next, and whether it would be better to add some focus and expertise to a longer-term view. The fact is Ferrari have no chance in 2020, with a shortened season and from a position so far behind Mercedes - where they are actually getting lapped in a race! Equally they have little chance in 2021 with the restrictions that have been put in place for that season due to the Covid19 pandemic. Perhaps with enough little changes they could be competitive in 2021, but it's a lot of effort for a single season before everything has to start again. I think the focus on 2022 makes absolute sense.

Yes hopefully in 2022 and beyond Ferrari can win titles again. But hopefully in 2022, if the rule changes have the desired effect, a lot of teams will have a chance and racing will be much more competitive and more reliant on driver talent than on the combination of driver talent and who has the best car.

This is incredible Marc Marquez got surgery 2 days ago and he will race this weekend.

WTF

It is good for us that we want to see interesting races.
However, I don't think that it will be good for his health to race after a surgery in such a short period. He is not going to be recovered fully and this might lead to a new injury.

It doesn't sounds healthy indeed. If he get injured again in his arm, he can he a lot longer absent then that he took some time now to get his arm be good again.

If you had a surgery few days ago and start racing again you're taking a big risk. But we will see how it goes.

Ferrari have, predictably, announced a management restructure: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/53503786

It sounds like they are going about it the right way. Instead of sacking everyone and starting again, they are switching away from a flat management structure and more towards the system used by Red Bull and Mercedes, where there are clear areas of accountability. The biggest decision could be bringing Rory Byrne back to a prominent position and putting him to work on the 2022 car. This makes a lot of sense. Byrne is undoubtedly talented, and it would be a waste to have him making minor tweaks to this year's car and the 2021 car when he could instead play an important role in the massive changes coming in 2022.

I think it's a good decision for the long-term success of the team, but does it suggest that Ferrari have already started to give up on being a title challenger this year and next?


This are excellent news and finally a move in the right direction. Rory is certainly a man for long term plans and vision. he can build a top car. I wouldn't mind waiting until 2022. for a real car and a team that has a head and the tail.

I see this as a sign that eyes have finally opened in Ferrari and we can look forward to some better days, one year extra does not mean much to true Tifosi.

That is great news for motorsport and MotoGp especially.Marc is a really talented driver and it will add competition to an already competitive sport where a lot of overtaking happens and it is a bit more beautiful to watch on Tv.

In the coming days, Marquez will re-evaluate his condition and make a final call on whether it would be wise climbing back on his bike just three days after undergoing surgery on his fractured arm.

Marquez could delay his decision until Saturday's qualifying session, which is the final cut-off for taking part.

That's incredible yes... but i think he will see on Friday training driving without pain and can strain the arm.  I hope also for a early return of Rins and Crutchlow the also have injuries.
