Oh my God...please go ahead FIA - Liberty Media...Imola then Zandvoort...that would be epic!! :oops:
Wow already imagining how today's cars will look around Imola!! :D
i don't think these cars will be able to overtake at Imola will they?
I think I'd rather see Turkey return. The quad apex left hander would be huge G's in these cars...
Yeah Turkey also was such a great track!! But Erdogan only has money for military purposes...running a Grand Prix weekend is too much it seems! =D>

Yes, Turkey would be good to see on the calendar with these cars, and the 2021 cars too.

All 10 teams have to accept of course! Ferrari...now is the time to use your veto powers and just make everyone go ahead with this! It's Italy we are talking about after all... :lol: :lol:
Surely the teams have no say, its just a 22 race calendar as expected, with 1 less fly away race and a local race in its place instead.

What can the teams complain about? Maybe 19 drivers complain that Kimi has an unfair advantage as he's the only one to have F1 experience at the track :lol:

.... Sepang
Totally! I saw two races at Sepang and they were awesome, the last one being when Vet won his first race for Ferrari.
Hailing from Oz makes me biased of course. It was cheaper to fly to Malaysia and have a week long holiday whilst catching a GP than it was to go to Melbourne for the race day!

Vietnam now looking as if its on the 'postponed' list, and Bahrain now looking as if it could go the same way.

Ferrari have taken steps to prevent folk who live in the rural areas affected from coming to the factory, Pirelli and Alpha are still to announce their plans.

The season opener in Australia may go ahead, but with 8 teams and then a close to 9 week gap till Zandvoort.

F1s leadership is facing its toughest test, and its reputation is under threat at the moment whilst it is in their guardianship. Its uncharted waters in truly unprecedented times.

if this Coronavirus COVID-19 goes on longer than the May 1-3 date for The Netherlands, it may be safe to say we may have more races off. Or do we go and race with what Internationale/Ludogrets are doing in the Europa League and play being closed doors???

Questions need answered by Liberty.

EDIT: Got my Thailand and Vietnams mixed up.

Liberty: "100.000 people buy tickets, but 10.000.000 people watch on TV. The race is on!"

Zandvoort: "We get revenue from attendance, not from TV. The race is off!"

Apparently Imola has put in an application to replace the Chinese Grand Prix

I was about to post it! :o

Oh my God...please go ahead FIA - Liberty Media...Imola then Zandvoort...that would be epic!! :oops:

1 month without action is too much! August is already awful for F1 fans...so that's a great idea since Imola itself has submitted to the FIA to be the replacement!

Wow already imagining how today's cars will look around Imola!! :D

That is not how veto works :lol:

Research what a Veto is my friend....
I guess its up to the teams if they would prefer to have and extra week off or they dont mind planning everything right now to go to Italy which im sure they wont mind.

Why not call of entire 2020 season because of the risk associated with the virus? let teams focus on new 2021 car.
