Fantasy formula 1 league - season 2020

[Analoguesat]

The August break has been moved to March / April with the teams being able to close down for any 3 weeks in that slot.

Liberty are looking at a 17-19 race season starting in Baku in June and slotting in races anywhere they can get agreement for... A good analysis here

One moment, please...

I shouldn't hold my breath.


Or maybe I should?

TBH, I wouldn't be totally surprised if most of this year's events were to be called off.

Me neither the way things are going......

Dutch Spanish & Monaco races scrapped. Baku is now the earliest possible resumption in early June

 

[woborny]

Monaco scrapped
Dutch and Spanish postponed with a view to squeeze them in later in the year.

Still on the whisky?

Sky Spots - coming soon to a sky box near you

Well that was mildly entertaining - I cant get too excited about esports but it filled half an hour. Higly amused to see the huge e-pileup before the first corner

"Amusing" - many THX to @Analoguesat for the link - keep 'em coming!

Johnny Herbert did a monster first corner to move up about 16 places.. He missed out corner 1 completely

From the commentary I think "Melbourne" is next in 2 weeks

 

[Analoguesat]

Not sure Id want to watch a full race distance but 30-45 minutes is ok on a dark Sunday evening...

 

[jeallen01]

BTW: at what time (on the video feed!) was the 1st lap "problem" because I'm unable to find it?

 

[Analoguesat]

The "camera angles" missed most of it, there was a big crash 100 yards from the start, Johnnys straight lining corner 1 was only caught as a brief glimpse & apart from one or two cars pointing the wrong way much of the rest was missed completely

 

[woborny]

It was / is on youtube...but not too sure if that will be geoblocked for you in the UK....

From Autosport :
The start of the 2020 Formula 1 season looks set for an extended delay with Baku expected to announce on Monday that it is postponing its grand prix.

 

[woborny]

Confirmed :
The Azerbaijan GP has become the eighth Formula 1 race to be called off due to the coronavirus crisis.

The Baku round was scheduled to take place on June 7 but has now been postponed indefinitely.

Update on the main world and UK motorsport programmes for 2020 Motor sport and coronavirus: here's what's going on for F1, Le Mans,BTCC and mor

 

[Analoguesat]

Canada will follow it - as they have pulled out of any Olympics to be held this summer there is no chance of it happening

 

[Topper]

Nah it ain't going to happen

January finish, two-day GPs on table for F1 super season

My suggestion is to allow the teams to develop their cars for next year and keep the 2021 schedule as planned but take this year's cars as well so do two races per venue, most cost effective solution as well as at maximum only one extra transporter would be required per team if indeed needed at all
