I hope this doesn't turn in to a season of challenges followed by TDs. It'll be frustrating and tedious if it is.

You might come across some fake news regarding Honda "disagreeing" with Red Bull.

The junk press covering F1 have nothing better to do but try and stir up trouble.

今回の件は厳しいねという話と、次のレースがいつになるのかわからないねという、ほとんど雑談でした
"The talk was bout this situation being very challenging, with not knowing when the next race will be, it was a chat mainly about that"

The sentence 最終的に（チームと）そういった話をする前にキャンセルが決まりました has been interpreted incorrectly.
いや、していないですね。チームとホンダでオーストラリアGPに出る出ないという話は12日の夜の時点ではしていません。もちろんホンダもF1に参戦している大きなブランドなので、ホンダはホンダで考えるべき問題だと思います。最終的に（チームと）そういった話をする前にキャンセルが決まりました。

The actual translation, "No, as of the night of the 12th we hadn't discussed yet as a team + Honda if we would participate in the Australian GP. In the end, the decision to cancel came BEFORE we discussed with the team."

Here is the article: https://www.as-web.jp/f1/574025?all

What Honda DID decide to cancel prior to leaving Japan was to NOT send non-essential personnel and guests that they were intending to host at the Australian GP. Honda did not make any decision to cancel racing with Red Bull and said they would follow what the F1 and FIA would determine.

What kind of idiot down votes my accurate translation?

Thank you for your accurate translation Ispano. Indeed, many sites have a completely incorrect translation.
And they copy all that from each other.

Team Statement: Annual Shutdown

Written by Aston Martin Red Bull Racing Published on 18.03.2020 - 16:29

The Team has released the following statement regarding the annual shutdown.

In light of the escalating COVID-19 pandemic, Aston Martin Red Bull Racing is in support of the decision taken by Formula One and the FIA to bring forward the annual shutdown from August to March / April 2020 and extend it to 21 days.
As a Team we currently plan to shutdown on 27th March for a three week period, however due to the ever changing nature of the pandemic there may be some flexibility around these dates.

Whilst we would all love to return to racing, the severity of this global pandemic is changing by the hour and the impact transcends our sport. We therefore agree with the measures being taken to reduce the risk of transmission and will support any further race postponements that are deemed necessary.

The health, safety and wellbeing of our Team, guests, fans and the local communities we visit are our absolute priority and we are taking every possible precaution to mitigate the spread of the virus. As such, we will also be taking extra precautions as a Team to protect our workforce while they are in the factory by implementing special working measures, guided by the UK Government and medical professionals.

We share the disappointment of our fans and partners that purchased tickets to attend this year’s postponed Grands Prix and our well wishes go to our McLaren and Pirelli colleagues recovering from the COVID-19 virus, as well as the McLaren team members currently quarantined in Australia.

This is just a lesson on how to drive in the wet, 20 mins of onboard + commentary... unedited material .....watch the lines he takes

[etusch]

Good drive, good video.
What a day we are in that we are watching lots of videos from last years instead of last week. Hope it will change soon.

[Wouter]

Today the race would take place on the Zandvoort circuit.
Here you can see two promo videos that were made for that. "Dutch Road Trip."

And next week Spain...

Cheer up mate, we'll be back racing in a month.

Sunday will rain here at Barcelona. So we lost a good chance to be a good race. If it's done at August (without spectators) will be hot like hell

[godlameroso]

Yes, August is hot, Hungary is almost unbearable at times.

[Big Tea]

Cheer up mate, we'll be back racing in a month.

Unless they see a (expected) big spike in C19 when lockdown opens up, then its rethink time

I hope not. I sincerely believe the worst is behind us now. I believe F1 can manage the situation. That the extra month is due to logistics more than fear of "it".
