Someone on reddit quipped it would be 'Survive to Drive' next year.

Not F1, but since all the race fans are likely in here, the IMSA 12 hours of Sebring race is cancelled due to the European teams being restricted entry to the US.

eta-rescheduled to November it appears.

This morning they've also cancelled Bahrain and Vietnam, and with the China race already on the outs at best it looks like it'll be May before we see any racing.

Some big pieces of news regarding Formula One going forward:

First, Formula One has postponed the next three Grand Prix’s: Dutch, Spanish, and Monaco. LINK

Second, the organizers of the Monaco Grand Prix opted to cancel it outright for 2020. LINK

Third, Formula One has decided to postpone all of the new technical regulations that were supposed to go into effect in 2021, to 2022. LINK

I might as well get the corona now.

I think they were in real jeopardy of some teams not racing at all this year. Ferrari being the most likely. Not being able to develop their car right now plus falling behind on 2021 would've made for a painfully obvious decision to forgo all but the Italian GP and focus fully on next year.

If anybody is Jonesing for some racing, here is the 1999 European Grand Prix from Nurburgring GP. This was a crazy race right from the (non)start. Man I miss those engines!

Vettel out at Ferrari after this season. Maybe be done for good after this year? Hope not. He's still got some fight in him.

quote:

"My relationship with Scuderia Ferrari will finish at the end of 2020. In order to get the best possible results in this sport, it’s vital for all parties to work in perfect harmony. The team and I have realized that there is no longer a common desire to stay together beyond the end of this season. Financial matters have played no part in this joint decision. That’s not the way I think when it comes to making certain choices and it never will be.

Please go to Merc. Seb and Lewis at Merc is what F1 needs.

Or Lewis to Ferrari with Charles

Ric to Ferrari and Seb to Merc with Hamilton would be awesome.

I’ll go ahead and predict Danny Ric to Ferrari and Seb eventually settling for the opened Renault seat after Merc and McLaren pass on him

There's supposedly a clause in Verstappen's contract that allows him an out if the engine performance drops this year.

It will be interesting going forward. Mercedes parent company might have an interest in hiring a German driver.

I also think there's a strong possibility that Haas and maybe another team might leave the sport as well. Toto being on the board at Aston Martin also makes for some interesting gossip.

I'll go on a limb and say Mick Schumacher to Ferrari, Vettel to McLaren.

Speaking of, having just started watching F1 this year I had assumed Michael had died since you hear little mention of him, it wasn't until just recently that I learned of his accident back in 2013 and his condition is pretty much kept a secret all these years later.

I don't know how they've kept it such a close secret this whole time. Every now and then someone will come out with an unofficial update but they're hard to put much faith in. Paralyzed, unable to speak, vegetable, recovering and will be at the track soon? It seems like very few know the truth and they aren't talking.

Some of the talk has been that the stem cell therapy did some amazing work towards his recovery. Only he has no idea who he is. No idea he was a driver or who he really is. His physical health seems to be alright though.

A lot of these drivers live ultra private lives even while racing, so staying out of the public eye is already part of their lives.
