Hi everyone, So the world ended and stuff, but F1 is coming back to us in two weeks! So we have lots to discuss! Does anyone remember testing? I assume Merc will dominate, but maybe not? Go Charles. I guess Vettel is leaving Ferrari. So go Charles? Do we want Max to win a title in a shortened season? Hamilton remains a ridiculous poodle. Discuss!     |

I have this nagging feeling something is going to f-up this season restart. I hope I am very wrong.

I read a few weeks back that Ross stated at a virus positive will not cancel the race. and that a team deciding not to race because of the virus will not cancel the race. I figure that the over/under on the number of teams that make it to the start line is prolly 8. |

And so, after many days spend in the desert, behold, a new F1 race thread.
And the crowd cheered!

Keep them isolated from the regular drivers and only use them if they have too. |

Even if everybody on a team wears a mask, ya can't run a team on a race weekend with social distancing. |

www.autosport.com/f1/news/150183/tents-to-replace-motorhomes-in-austrian-gp-paddockFormula 1's paddock will look completely different at its first races back with tents and awnings replacing motorhomes, and team trucks further away from garages. As part of a move to limit the number of staff needing to attend, F1 has agreed with teams that the usual motorhomes that are a feature for European races will no longer be brought along. The building and transportation of F1's super-structure motorhomes required a lot of staff and it was felt that it would be better for teams to use circuit facilities instead. The absence of the motorhomes means that there is now space for a paddock rejig, with plans having been agreed for team trucks - which are normally close to the pit garage doors - being moved further away. Teams will then build tents and awnings at the back of the pits, which they can use as overspill space from the garage to help with any social distancing requirements.

I mean what is the point of racing if you can't bring the team motorhome?
And where will Hamilton fuss with his hair?

Maybe he'll stomp the ground, take his ball and go home.

So is this a one time thing or is it no longer a 'Silver Arrow'?

I'm still not 100% convinced this is going to happen. We shall see.
