autosport is reporting that the Australian GP is going to be cancelled
you can't argue with results.

Latest this morning etc... deleted
Edit: F1 cancelled it seems...
Delay in letting people know is puzzling. Punters were lining up outside the gate all morning.
Seb and Kimi were on a plane 3 hours ago apparently.
"Fuster Cluck" might best describe it - Did I spell that correctly?Last edited by Whyzars; 13th March 2020 at 00:01.

It seems Bahrain and Hanoi may also not happen under the current very fluid circumstances. Apparently, fourteen more Mclaren personel are in quarantine. Chance are that the first race of the season may take place in Netherlands in may.
I think they might try to get the closed race in Bahrain done if the F1 establishment can persuade the teams to come on board with the idea. Street circuit like Hanoi would be less likely as a closed race is not possible.Better a witty fool than a foolish wit.

With nothing better to do, I think I'll watch the second season of Netflix F1 documentary. Everyone please stay safe and get well.

All said and done, we have to commend the F1 establishment for taking the hard decision of stopping the first four races. It couldn't have been easy considering the consequential cost of not having these races. They had the courage to take a hard a decision and l applaud them.
I also think Mercedes and Hamilton should be commended for taking up the fight for the moral decision which would have been seen as an unpopular stance to make in the thick of the discussions of whether to race or not. It is certainly refreshing and re-enforces my fate in humanity that there are good people out there that would stand up for what is right and proper. And they do so unintimidated by the powerful forces that they must stand up against. That is not to undermine the incredible weight that both parties have in the F1 world. But it is still great to see.Last edited by Nitrodaze; 16th March 2020 at 17:35.

All races up to and including the Monaco GP at the end of May now cancelled/postponed. Officially, we're in the summer break now, so races could be held in August, between Hungary and Belgium.
Oct. 31, 1999 - one of the blackest days in motorsports.

They need 8 races to make an official season .
It may not happen .
If it does , do the other teams now have some time to perhaps create their own DAS systems , or will they be too busy making ventilators ?
There's no meat on the shelves at our local grocery store .
And , no toilet paper .
And no pasta .
No canned soup .
No hand sanitizer .
It's pretty weird world time all over .
But , I'm snug here , waiting it out , off-grid in the woods .

I am in my house overlooking the sea. I can work indefinitely from home and I’ve always feared a zombie (type) apocalypse so have always a basement fully stocked up. I can self isolate for two years without leaving the house. I’m just gonna stroll down to the beach every day until this all blows over with my wife and kids. Could do with some F1 though. Continually watching reruns is boring. It does somewhat strike me as alarming when I am looking for entertaining races that I really want to see again... I have to go back a lot of years.
Watched Hungary 98 last night- simply amazing what Schumacher did there.
