In news that should surprise nobody, Australia and China have been postponed.
Bring back the Bahrain velodrome instead of Australia.
The MotoGP calendar has three reserve grand prixs ready. Well, two of them. There's a Russian Tilkedrome (I hate how I can spot them just on layout alone now), Portimao and a yet to be built Indonesian street circuit.
Whoop.
They've actually slotted Imola in instead of China, which I am a huge fan of, even if all the noobs seem to think it produces BORING RACING. Get a clue, dweebs. They just need to move the DRS back a few yards after Rivazza and it's perfect.
Monaco won't be coming back anytime soon I'd imagine.
What a shame.
I like the driver lineup Ferrari have gone with. They failed both Alonso and Vettel so they have gone deep with drivers who have less than five wins combined. They didnt really have a choice, given how shit they have become.
Leclerc is the tits, to be fair. Probably third best driver in the sport after Hamilton and Mad Max (although I have some question marks about the latter under pressure). If Sainz gets even on his coat-tails he will have done a very good job.
Ricciardo and Norris is the most intriguing team mate battle to watch, if Lando has top tier aspirations he probably needs to beat him.
No probably about it.
Ricciardo beat Vettel but lost to Verstappen, people will be taking note of how Norris stacks up against him given he was pretty even with Sainz (who himself compared favourably to Verstappen in the same machinery, albeit at a point where it's harder to judge).
Clearly only signed her up for her looks.

That's how you know she's fast.
:D
Has Hammerzeit still not signed for 2021? That's the year we're in.
It's a bit protracted but neither side seem too bothered (Hamilton has been posting videos of him skiing which has a 100% failure rate for 7 time WC's so far) and given that he is now a 'brand' :sick: there's probably some legal shenanigans over trademarks or IP or whatever. It's not like they'll turn up at testing and not let him in the car.
Nigel Mansell is obviously great and everyone should forget the shady way he won his first race.

@Lewis
He looks like Peter Ebdon.
He went balled quick or have i just not noticed.
I think Kubica's has held on better.
At least he's owning it unlike Lewis Hamilton pretending it grew back.
If he grows out the sides a bit he could have a bit of a Denny Hulme elder statesman vibe going on. It rules out race wins, though.
Has he gone off the deep end? He looks like an escaped psychiatric patient.
Only a 1 year deal for Sir Lewis. Perhaps he wants to see what the new regulations turn up before committing or perhaps George has impressed enough.
He will continue to get 1 year extensions until he gets his 8th title then give his seat to George.
This sprint race thing sounds bollocks.
It is total bollocks, it ain't broke. Are they trying to whizz up the grid order? Try taking some fucking aero off the cars.
Once Lewis retires, the grid quality evens right up.
So at the same time they're reducing practice sessions and having a sprint race on Saturday? That makes absolutely no sense.
A second race every weekend would totally cut costs. :cab:
It smacks of someone in Cheeseburger Towers having read a graph, noticed that they are getting way more engagement/revenue on Sundays than on Saturdays, and seen this as a problem.Quote:

Steve Sunday is running the show now, he's already binned the idea of reverse grids I would hope this will go the same way.Quote:

Alonso has had an accident in Switzerland lads
Bollocks. Another cycling accident. Alex Zanardi only started to talk last month. Sounds like he's made an amazing recovery.
Hulk really is a wasteman.
Jesus, this McLaren car launch is woeful. SHOW US THE FUCKING CAR. I DON'T WANT TO SEE DANNY AND LANDO PLAYING GUITAR. ARE THEY DRIVING A GUITAR?
EDIT: Oh, Andrea from Argentina has a question. Is it, "Where's the fucking car!?" Oh, these people are PR plants.
Not keen on the blue sidepods, lads. Still, Coca Cola's got a sponsor slot.
Ya the song thing was so cringe but Merc engine woo

I think Kimi might have sent his portly body double.
I never thought he and Valentino Rossi would still be going at 40-odd.
Ok I have a new favourite NASCAR race title. The Beef. It's Whats For Dinner 300
Sublime.
I watched Formula E for the first time this weekend and really enjoyed it. The attack mode feature adds an interesting dynamic.
That was a right watch.

And yet Daytona(aaaaaaaa) remains just the Daytona 500. Truly a nation of contrasts.
I watched this yesterday. What a time to happen.
