It is a lot easier to make that call in a McLaren than it would be in a competitive car..................

Sounds like Lewis doesn't want to leave his hotel room. I wonder if Toto can still fit in a car

They are all going to be called off.....

They are all going to be called off.....

 

I would be surprised if they are. F1 is a business and its product is a 2 hour tv spectacle on sundays. No product no money.

Mrs will be very happy if the other 21 are postponed as well

My Mrs always gets her way

No it has not been called off

[CAAD4]

So is it on or off? I can't be bothered Googgling it, as the Hub is more reliable...

Dammit I was starting to get conflicting reports last night and almost got hopeful

Last night, it depended who you followed or listened to. Some were saying off and some were saying on. Then eventually 2 hours before the start of FP1 the FIAsco came out of a meeting with the race organisers and they said it is off.

Ppl were already at the track. My mate is a Marshall and they were told it’s on an reported for duty. Cancelled very very late.

Some of our friends flew down to Aus to watch the Grand Prix, this has been planned for more than a year with some savings etc.

Although they will get a ticket refund it will just not be the same...

I don't watch Soccer or NBA so was not phased when they started cancelling all those games. But then the MotoGP last weekend, F1 this weekend and all the cycling I am starting to feel sad. At least the UFC is going on-for now.

I listen to HOT 91.9 when I do drive and this morning it was raining so drove, they played a snippet from a few days ago. Jeremy told John to do a sports report for 3 weeks time. It was hilarious because he was reporting on dogs chasing each other around the garden. No sport to report on. It seems it is going that way. I hear all the RSA vs India ODI's will be played with no fans.

Bahrain and Vietnam postponed. Season is now only expected to start in Europe at the end of May.

 

Nothing said about the Dutch and Spanish GP in the beginning of May?

Bold section was not part of the official statement. So expect it was just bad reporting.

It's been raining here the whole day and the trails are as slippery as hell, so decided to binge on "Drive to Survive 2"

I enjoyed the Gasly / Albon story, but the rest was pretty ordinary. The Williams saga was a big let down.

[Kranswurm]

No it has not been called off

Yes it has and Bahrain and Vietnam postponed.

Ferrari factory shut down

Dont hold your breath
