As much as I dislike both of them, credit needs to go to Kimi and Seb, for putting their young families before their ego's. Essentially telling the sport to go fuck itself and that they're not bigger than any one human.

I missed this, what did they do?

They left the country last night, while the FIA, GP organisation was still saying it was going ahead.

Seb was pretty clear after Lewis that the drivers should feel confident 'pulling the handbrake' if necessary.

In a roundabout way, I'm pleased that the drivers took a stand and told the FIA to go suck it. Maybe they're realizing that without them, the FIA doesn't have a show.

F1's opening race might be Baku in June https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/seas ... s/4745255/

They can just hold the cancelled races after Abu Dhabi. Australia in december, Bahrein in January, Barcelona in February combined with a wintertest for the 2021 cars. Then Shanghai and Vietnam in March. Zandvoort on it's early may date and then any other canceled 2020 race in it's normal spot. 2020 season could end in Monaco if Baku is the first race this year. The 2021 season would be significantly shorter then but they can plan it way ahead now. Like August to December 2021, it are completely new cars so a short season would be good to iron out problems. Then normal business resumes in 2022

I wonder if someone inside Liberty or FIA had tested positive that we wouldn't had this farce right away

China was the first race canceled because of COVID-19 and the irony is that right now this seems to be the least unsuitable place for a race to be held.

I'm pretty sure chinese authorities doens't want to see foreigners there even if they're clad on gold with diamonds on the eyes

Gaara · PostPosted: Fri Mar 13, 2020 6:14 pm

Yeah, the rate is going down in China so they really wouldn't want foreigners coming and bringing it back up again.

Didn't that happen in Thailand?

Vietnam.

It might have happened in Thailand, but it's definitely happened in Vietnam, which is why Uncle Monopoly was there last week trying to wrangle a way for the Italian teams to get into the country without 2 weeks of quarantine.

Uncle Monopoly :lol:

I'll be using that one from now on

maybe he tried to pull a Bernie and bribing authorities to get his show there

Unbelievable scenes in qualifying!!

A sudden rain storm halfway through Q1 eliminated the Mercs, Bulls and Ferraris.

George Russell with an incredible lap in a wet Q3 to secure the pole from Kimi at the death :flag:

(I wish that happened)
