Not a great start for the last season of Vettel on Ferrari.
Yesterday Ferrari turns on the engine at their home with only Leclerc present, a mystery, for now, the missing of Sebastian.
Also a rumor about his sack at the end of the season about the refuse from him to cut his salary.

Ross Brown has spoken and he said, "if we will have at least 8 Gps the Formula 1 will have a world Champion for this year".
So basically if they can't reach the 8th Gp this year we will have not a global winner but only Gp winners.
I think this is a great solution, Hamilton will not be happy
.
Decreasing the number of races will increase the variance, anything can happen.

I would love to see such variance happening for real.Add to this variance really bad weather conditions in most of the races and we are going to see one of the most beautiful F1 season even with a little number of races compared to a normal season.

^ And less races evens it out a bit between the two. I'm feeling better about Verstappen's chances of getting more points rn. 
Well... Every driver is like a cannibal, they want to eat it all.
He probably can't say it because of the delicate situation of Schumacher but you know to be the legend you need to beat the previous legend.
About the fewer number of races, not sure about it, the plan is to do 18-19races if the situation on Americas will improve.
Yeah I guess... Since it could make his next contract even more lucrative.
Lol. Does he really want to break Schumacher's title that bad tho? I don't get that kind of impression from him.
And I think the fewer number of races is good for my bet with LTU_btc: Leclerc (him) vs Verstappen (me), who finishes the season with more points.

@tokeweed I hope that this time round you won’t be jinxed since you have publicly revealed that you’re placing your money on Verstappen, and I have to admit that both the drivers have an excellent chance of winning, hence I’ll be keenly following these two to see who wins this bet. Furthermore I’m not aware if you’ll remember this or no but Schumacher had predicted back in 2008 that Hamilton will be the one to break his record, and it seems that this year Hamilton can finally break his record.
^And I won't be jinxing myself by sharing my picks this time.
I see somebody is already trying to jinx my luck... -_- Stop it. Source:

Oh, after this very long quarantine, I completely forgot about our bet. Yeah, less races probably open more room for surprises. Maybe even more interesting fight for title is possible.https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.f1-confirm-2020-azerbaijan-singapore-and-japanese-grands-prix-have-been.53mR0P305L9eUmDJXYOFoh.html
F1 cancelled 3 more races - Azerbaijan, Singapore and Japanese. If Azerbaijan and Singapore was somewhat expected, because city tracks requires long preparation, it's sad news that there will be no Suzuka track this year.
Also, Ross Brawn said that additional tracks is considered like Mugello, Imola, Portimao, and Hockenheim.

I don't have a clue why Austria and GBR races are going to be raced twice?
Are we going to see all teams racing twice and getting double points or we are going to break all teams into two groups and they are going to race separately?

O km from Alex Marquez at the factoury team and he must change after this years to the second Honda team 😁 so for KTM it's very difficult to become a new good driver, maybe Petrucci?

Cool. F1 is prolly the only sport I don't mind not to have the fans to be actually there during the event.
If the situation will improve they are going for 17-19 GPs only the Gps on the previous picture are official.
The last GP will be on 13th of December where the hot will be, so Arabia and maybe south America.

I'm very curious whether the second race will take place counterclockwise?
It would be interesting to see, but I read somewhere that they won't held races counterclockwise. Austrian track isn't licensed for that, not sure about Silverstone. Preparing track for such race would reauire lot of work and probably in current situation it's not possible.I remember racing in Silverstone in oppsite direction on old racing simulator and it was fun, but it's not that easy as on usual direction

I read the same it's very difficult to make races on tracks counterclockwise, for the drivers (that' you drive on a new track) and the most difficult is the security from the track.

June 04, 2020, 02:26:49 AM
I wonder what is the point of organizing two same races for certain events.If it is to fill the calendar with races I think better tracks can be chosen to be raced two times in them like Belgium and Italy which are classic races with lots of overtaking in them.The good thing is we finally are going to see racing action starting from next month.

The opening eight races of the calendar will take place in Europe, across six circuits. The target throughout has been to achieve 15 to 18 races. How confident is Carey of achieving that goal?
