Dovizioso's contract with Ducati is almost end, there is no sign that Ducati will extend the contract. is this a sign that Ducati will start looking for new racers?

maybe even at the start of the season Dovizioso will also be absent because of an injury, with 13 races that were held in the 2020, of course this is become a serious problem for drivers.

With his injury Andrea Dovizioso due to follow the MX GP championship in Faenza, 34-year-old Dovizioso fell in the championship.
As a result of a broken collarbone and had to run a surgical operation at Modena hospital. This is bad news for the Ducati team,
because of the drivers its mainstay must be injured before the inaugural MotoGP 2020 series. Most likely Andrea Dovizioso will be
absent because of the injury.

@masulum I don’t think that there’s any new update regarding his contract, hence we will have to wait for a while till an official announcement comes from Ducati. Further there’s some good news too as Ducati feels that he’ll be fit just in time for the opening race which is in three weeks from now, but it’s also worth mentioning that he’ll be rusty and he will not be able practice before the race begins due to his injury.

Yo LTU_btc...  Didn't you make an F1 predictor pool at Superbru before the season started?  Care to share the invite link again?  There's prolly more bored people interested in playing with the lockdown and all.
Oh, thanks for reminding about it, because during this long break I completely forgot it. I see that you're already in, but it would be nice to see more people joining. It's free and I think some predictions can make watching F1 more interesting, so I invite to join:
https://www.superbru.com/f1/pool.php?p=12232182

If we get more people to join maybe we could chip in 10 bucks each to give to whoever ends up with the most points..?  
Yeah, why not. It sounds good and it would make watching F1 more interesting. Unfortunately, there is not so many F1 fans here :/

Ferrari did some tests in Italy at the circuit of Mugello!
The circuit is in the list of possible candidates for a Gp late this year if more GPs will be deleted.

Vettel said ""Mugello deserves a F1 Race"", he seems to like a lot the circuit.

Seems like you were correct. At least according to a report by James Gilboy: https://www.thedrive.com/accelerator/34375/mugello-circuit-will-host-ferraris-1000th-formula-1-grand-prix-report

The event will be hosted in September only a week after the Italian Grand Prix in Monza. And that is the only sore point for me. I wonder if there will even be enough interest in such events like this running back to back under the current global conditions... Would people even watch? On the other hand, I can pretty much sense the palpable excitement of the racers! This season would have nine races in just 11 opening weeks.

That's something for sure. Pretty sure that people will lose interest halfway through though, except the most avid fans.

More info about Zanardi situation:

A witness said "Zanardi" was filming with his phone during the accident, it has not been confirmed yet.
His situation is still critical but the more it will be critical without having more problems the more he will have the chance of surviving but also is rumored about some brain damage and brain operation.

Only a rumor nothing confirmed yet.

Doesn't make anything better (just explains it better) and I hope Zanardi gets well again all things considered - "stable condition" sounds already a bit relieving.
I read on press that he is in serious, but stable condition. At least it's not critical condition, let's hope that he will recover. Zanardi is such inspirational person, he returned to motosport after such fatal accident and also won Gold in Paralympic Games later.
Just few days before this crash, F1 released interesting podcast with him... https://youtu.be/IOF61tDGYwM

About the accident, it seems it was a Zanardi error in the curve also for what we have now as information the race could be "illegal" race cause COVID law and was hidden.
The Mayor of the city didn't know about it.

Yes, I read that too. He sort of lost control and drifted to the opposite lane, where a truck couldn't avoid the collision then. The fact, that there was a truck on the opposite lane makes it very likely to have been an "unofficial" race, because otherwise the road would have been blocked or some safety measures would have been put in place.
Doesn't make anything better (just explains it better) and I hope Zanardi gets well again all things considered - "stable condition" sounds already a bit relieving. That truck driver must feel very bad too, although it looks like it wasn't his fault. But he will have lifelong trauma I guess Tongue

I also read about the Zanardi accident, very tragic what Zanardi had to suffer for setbacks in his life.

McLaren open to sale of F1 team shares to raise finance

Looks like that McLaren also have finance problems .

McLaren is considering selling a stake of up to 30% in its Formula 1 team as it seeks to raise extra finance with which to improve its level of competitiveness.


I believe they made huge mistake in controlling their finances and they overspend.
They had an amazing season last year and they had a lot of profits from this. On top of that when you are a competitive team you can achieve greater deals with your sponsors. I wonder why they failed so much.

@Naida_BR the article clearly states that their funds were hit due to Covid19, and this sale is a strategic move to prepare for next year budget cap of $145 million, and further the funds raised from the sales will allow them to compete with the top 3 cars that race in F1.

Alex Zanardi had yet another terrible accident today, when he was hit by a truck while riding his handbike  Cry He has severe head injuries and surgery was done this evening. He is in intensive care in critical condition now. I hope he will survive and is able recover afterwards, he won't lack any fighting spirit to accomplish this for sure. What a man, what a legend.

I hope he recovers as this man is for me a true legend having suffered accidents before which led to him being cut both legs.He still continued with the same spirit a sportsman should have and was active in motorsports.This new accident is truly a sad event but I think he will recover as always.

@swogerino there’s a fresh update that his vital signs are stable, but he’s yet not out of danger hence we all should pray for him that he finds the strength to recover quickly from this accident.
