Chinese GP cancelled 

 

First new livery, big fan of that, best one they've done

[Stinkenzo]

Can't see anything official about that but guess it's only a matter of time. Not sure if what you have seen says cancelled or postponed but not seeing any date they could realistically change it too.

 

Also Sky have all of testing live aswell as F1TV

It's been officially postponed but only if they're able to switch it for another race on the calendar which seems very unlikely 

[Stinkenzo]

I did consider that but that solution completely screws over fans who have already bought tickets etc for that track

[The Horse's Mouth]

I think the chances of China sorting this out in that timeframe as well is probably unlikely, is a shame as it's usually a whopper grand prix

Watch virtually zero F1 now. I read somewhere that 2020 is a lock for Mercedes and Hamilton as everyone is focusing on the 2021 car? True? Simplistic view?

Well not really, you might have some lesser/midfield teams that stop development early this season to look at next years car but in reality all teams started working on 2021 cars last year at the latest.

 

 

Also what do people expect Merc/Ferrari/RBR to do with their liveries? I think the Merc gets better looking every year but from a front on angle it does look a little bland.

Simplistic but somewhat true, the regulation changes in 2021 are huge and will issue a new era to F1, I think most will be surprised if it isn't another Hamilton merc double

The livery just looks confused with itself

[isaidno]

I like the Williams livery.

Yeah it's alright, it does feel like a back marker car though, big improvement over last year, really hope it's a better year 

[isaidno]

At least they've got their car to the first test this season.

I've created another Foxestalk F1 fantasy league - join code: 394f462fa2

I've also paid the discounted £15 for the year's live timing etc.  

EDIT: I hope work wasn't noticing how much time I was spending on my phone to do this  *Looks round* Nope

Concepts and designs are allowed but they’re not allowed to make stuff for the cars until the September before the season begins.

Isn’t that the lowest Grand Prix attendance, something like 30000 on race day

was just coming to post that. this is getting silly now surely? on the one hand, people are saying the mortalitly rate is low, and among healthy people pretty much zero, but matches are being played behind closed doors, and now teams are pulling out of F1. which is it?

A lot of it is precautionary and that's fair enough. Might as well try and prevent it as much as possible as opposed to take the risk to pass it on especially at big sporting companies or sporting events.
