Is that, is that Glock?

That will forever be etched in my memory.
One of if not my favourite sporting moment but man did that shave some time off my lifespan.

I want Brazil 2008

They've shown the full race already, but it was one of those races they couldn't keep on the channel.

I knew Marko was crazy but this just solidifies it

My man thinks Covid19 is Chicken-Pox

Brillant idea to make an official statement on the 1st of April...

Lando's head-shaving was lolz.

Seems like a good track. Shame we have to wait longer for a race here.

been watching that F1 series on netflix. extremely fascinating sport coming from someone who only knew the name Lewis Hamilton prior to watching that series. it's a shame there's no races atm to watch

Watched the boys do some practice runs on Twitch last night... absolutely hilarious. Banter was great too.
So much more fun watching these guys "play" rather than NBA or football players play NBA or FIFA.
In sim racing, their driving skills can actually transfer to the sim world.

Really good interview. The best I've heard from Beyond The Grid.

Really good insight to Lewis, Kimi, Alonso and Mclaren back in the mid 2000's

Postponed rather than cancelled. That's interesting.
Ain't no way they're getting a race in this year.

Fair to assume this will never happen again.

Is this even feasible?

Is this even feasible?

I think 18 could be feasible.

Australia and Monaco are the only ones officially canceled at the moment. That's at least 20/22 races left.

Of the remaining 13 races not postponed yet, 12 are on permanent tracks that likely won't need that much time to prepare for a race weekend, since I'd expect most if not all of them to happen behind closed doors. Singapore is the only street circuit not postponed/canceled, I'd say it's a toss up at this point based on how things play out over there.

7 races are already postponed, but most can fit into the calendar later with some maneuvering. I'd say due to logistics it's highly likely Bahrain will be pushed to right before Abu Dhabi, China somewhere around Russia/Japan, and Spain and Zandvoort are also permanent tracks so depending on their schedule they could also be moved around the calendar. That's at least already 16 races.

Baku also doesn't seem too feasible to me because of setup times, whereas in Montreal they're on an island, mostly just depends on scheduling/weather imo. I won't be surprised if/when Vietnam gets cut from this year's calendar, it sounded like they could use the extra year.

I think it'll be crucial the calendar gets extended at least another two or three weeks too. Depending on Montreal, Singapore, and Hanoi, 18 races is certainly a possibility. This doesn't really account for how the world ends up dealing with the current situation over the next few months, so who knows. I wouldn't expect to see much if any spectators at any of these races though.

Not F1, but get that ish outta here. I hope Nascar comes down hard on him.

I'm brand new to F1 besides watching that YouTube doc on Hamilton
Just watched the first season of the Netflix F1 show: Drive to Survive

I'm fascinated by the sport, politics, characters, cars

Welcome aboard. It's a damn shame you'll have to wait a bit before getting to watch an actual race!
