2020 Tuscan GP - Mugello

[Nitrodaze]

We come to the first F1 race ever at Mugello, behind a sensational Monza race that presented the F1 world with a new F1 race winner in Pierre Gasly. On a Monza weekend where Hamilton was faced with some bad luck, his rivals failed to capitalized on it. Monza was a race that Bottas needed to win to re-establish himself as a realistic contender for the 2020 drivers title.

Equally, this was a race that Verstapenn need to win to close the gap right up to Hamilton, which would have spiced up the season. We go into Mugello with Hamilton still comfortably in the lead and Bottas back in second.


Mugello is Ferrari's test track normally. And this race marks Ferrari's 1000th race celebration, unfortunately in a season where Ferrari is faced with some adversity. This track is new to all the drivers on the grid with exception to Vettel, Raikonen, Leclerc and Giovinazzi. Hence it is interesting to see how the Mercedes fair on Ferrari's test track.

Mercedes and Redbull would be seeking to bounce back from a poor Monza weekend. Hence, this weekend presents Bottas and Verstapenn a great opportunity to give Hamilton a hard time. This is a historic race as the winner of this race shall be the first and only driver to ever win a F1 race on this track; as this track is not on future F1 calendars.
