One of my favourite tracks on the calendar Austin, Texas. Could this be where Lewis seals no. 6? [:)]

A nice touch from Seb too - no doubt he was thinking about the way Lewis supported him through his recent problems [&o]

For F1 fans, did you see this? Is it real? No this is a game...

The Williams is being launched today. One can't help but feel this is a a massively important year for this once great marque.

At least it has to be an improvement on last year..... [:)]

All testing done and as ever, we won't know the true state of play until wheels turn in anger in Australia.

Big question: will the Grand Prix season even be completed?

The Chinese GP has already been postponed (likely cancelled). We saw countries stopping flights to/from China. If that happens to Japan or Italy or the UK anywhere else the teams, engine suppliers, technicians, engineers etc etc are based, then one or more teams can't take part.

Thank you. [:)] [&o]

I was thinking only of the audience. And my thinking was that they could perform the race without live audience and just send it on TV. But without any crews getting to the location it is, of course, not possible to go ahead.

RIP Stirling - if ever a guy HAD to be a racing driver based on his name [:)]. 10-years earlier and he would have been a fighter pilot.

Arguably the greatest F1 driver not to be World Champion.

So Sebastian Vettel and Ferrari are to part company at the end of 2020. Would be a huge story if there was actually any motor racing happening....

Shakespeare could not have written a more dramatic situation than two great drivers in one F1 team. Vettel and LeClerc locked horns repeatedly and they weren't even driving for 3rd place overall. If Ferrari strategists can't put together more than three race wins this season, then LeClerc may eventually follow Vettel.

So things really have been shaken up - Ricciardo to McLaren and Sainz to Ferrari. So does Vettel now go to Mercedes?

Sainz to Ferrari? I see that his godfather Alonso continues to have a lot of influence in Maranello.

Or retirement maybe?
