Looking forward to the abbreviated season....under the circumstances this will be better than no season at all.

It will be interesting to see if a double header at one track over an appx 7 day period will be incorporated into future race calendars.

Lets see how this is going to work.

F1 currently expect the opening races to be closed events but hope fans will be able to attend again when it is safe to do so.

8 races in 2 months. We might still get to see 20 races this year.

This can change very quickly . As we can see what happens in the last 7 days in the US .
Actually not only in the US . Several countries show it with demonstrations...

I mean , I didn't saw social distance regarding the damn virus !
Seems like the people already forgot what a deadly virus can do . This can go bad . Very bad !

As for the F1 races . Yeah guys , let us hope ...

Mate It's like I said . Everything depends from the damn virus at that moment.
One week in "re-open" and people already forget how many people "died today" from COVID-19 !
3,327 RIP for the moment today ! => https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries
One driver or mechanic sick ? And the complete '20 season is over for sure !
Seems like people are used to hear it, and they don't care anymore..

That's why my expectations are negative . But let us hope for the best..

Mate . Stay healthy and safe !

I cant seem to find my source, but I recall reading that if someone came down with a case of the coronavirus they wouldn't necessarily call off the race.

NASCAR has been running multiple events in the last couple of weeks or so with additional security measures. To my knowledge, no one has caught the virus yet. I know the series is run on a smaller scale than F1, but it does give us hope.

its here.. 9th..

"In the event of a positive case F1 are fully confident that the procedures and team segregation will allow swift and effective contact tracing across a small group and rapid testing will be provided to determine the risk of infection and isolate it immediately."

The virus ain't shit, overblown paranoia. Deaths from Covid don't even move the average yearly death numbers.

Life goes on, let's go racing.

Overblown paranoia ? Mate the 383,109 deaths ( next week 400,000 ) they won't see a race anymore !
I knew friendly people in my neighbourhood who died from the damn virus !

3,011,806 Currently Infected Patients ! Yeah , the virus goes on , let's go racing .

Again, it’s barely a blip compared to other causes of death. This thing has been shown to be far less deadly than we were lied to about. People get sick, people die, that’s life. Move on, the ridiculous response to the Controlavirus has been far more devastating than the virus itself.

Gentleman start your engines.

It isn't that they forgot, they are defying the rules. Stay-at-home orders were and still in place in most of big cities people are rioting in. Rioters and looters are just defying Democrat Governer's executive orders that went through June, some even longer.

In a sense, we just had are big grand reopening. Especially if we don't see a major uptick in cases. Social distancing is now non-existent. There is no way the state goverments can go back to telling people to stay home and can't open businesses after letting the rioting go virtually unchecked for days.

its not right to think straight forward that much.. yes there are many more reasons people die annually but its all new another factor that kills people.. and its almost like half a million now in 6 months even with on time or late responses to avoid spreading it with 2020 tech we have.. its like so xxxxxxx people die every year from a car accident, and lets not fasten seatbelts cause we have x ratio of dying anyway.. it doesnt work that way.. anyone who reads the message is already have shelter and luxury things for this life and chance to stay away from the virus.. but there are quite a lot of population on this earth having trouble even finding something to eat.. and they re the ones always lose..

world economy "broken" badly, however one way or another it ll be fixed.. but people who lost their mom, dad or a friend ll never get back their loved ones after few years.. this is the whole purpose.. you never know how much wounded struggles until you become one..

Get a grip. The doom porn worst case scenario is a failed lie. Stopped being duped and fearful, life moves on.

Think you're the one who needs to get a grip, what news do you read to think that Covid is not serious??

It's the US. Don't bother convincing Americans it's real. I live here and witnessed people flaunting it until someone they personally know gets killed, then they panic. It's a "me, me, me society" over here.

What data? All the doom porn models you fell for turned out to be complete bullshit. Yearly deaths haven’t moved an inch, and the death rate from Controlavirus infections is a fraction what it was hyped to be. You’re the one believing in failed data from months ago, still scared and shivering. By all means though, stay hidden in your basement with your little Halloween mask on. You look cute.
