They did and believe that was just red herrings thrown out by Boris to divert the press from Cumming's faux pas re breaching/flaunting restrictions.

I don't understand his basis for the travel complaints. Does he really think teams wouldn't return to England as they based there? That's not really well thought out, teams WILL be returning to the shops so travel isn't really a problem, they will be in England.

MOST of the teams are UK based.... Ferrari, Sauber Alfa Romeo and Alpha Tauri are based in Italy and Switzerland. The FIA has already at the beginning of the year stated if any team was unable to take part due to travel restrictions the race could not be classified for the World Championship event IIRC

It's logical with most teams based in England and with pro sports being allowed to skip quarantine should be no problem for the other teams based outside of the UK. I am sure the GP will go ahead as planned, no problem

So if Ferrari have a bad time in both Austrian races does it mean they will suddenly report travel restrictions?

So confirmed kicking off in Austria (x2) followed by Hungary, Britain (x2), Spain, Belgium and Italy.

I would be looking at that as a potentially very good start if I was at Red Bull, particularly if Merc continue to struggle with reliability niggles.

You'd have to conclude that, and/or F1 can get round the 14 day quarantine issue.....and MotoGP can't. It's not fair, but F1 was always going to get 'favourable' treatment.

to be fair, if you look at how proactive F1 has been in firstly helping to tackle COVID19 by producing ventilators etc, and secondly in putting together their 'Biosphere' plan, id suggest F1 has done more to show the UK Government that they are in a far better position to mitigate risk of transmission.

I don't think ive seen MotoGP being as active in these areas, so F1 rightly has been given priority. (unless ive missed something that MotoGP has been doing?)

as i mentioned previously, thanks to the ventilator scheme, the f1 teams have direct contacts very high up in the government. you can see this has helped by the way the "exempt/not exempt/exempt" thing has played out.

motogp also has far fewer uk based teams and fewer people involved with those teams. if you were to use the nonsense "same rule for everyone" argument then you'd be looking at around 5000 people out of work in a 50 mile radius.

No doubt the ventilator project has helped. It may seem a bit like ‘I’ll scratch your back, you’ll scratch mine’, but that may be a bit simplistic. I think it helps more as you say that more teams are based in the UK. MotoGP doesn’t have the same luxury unfortunately. Let’s just hope both trimmed calendars are worth it

P38 in workshop has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
I just read the Chase Carey has said a GP will go ahead even if a driver tests positive at an event.While I hope they can run the limited range of races without a driver becoming ill,I suppose all teams would have a substitute driver present in any case.The driver briefings will presumably have to be conducted via Zoom with drivers in their hospitality units to prevent the whole grid being eliminated.In the worst case scenario of a few drivers being quarantined for a few weeks,are there enough drivers around eligible for a superlicence to take up the slack?

I think it will be easily controlled. I am sure steps will be taken to avoid that sort of thing happening. Of course teams will bring their reserve driver like they always do anyway. I am sure too driver briefings will go ahead too, as will other normal procedures like the driver weigh in. They might have to do them slightly differently than normal as you say

I am sure too there are plenty of drivers who could step into the car if worse comes to worse. Just remember we are limited to only 20 cars on the grid, if we had more teams you would see more drivers on the grid. The likes of say Hartley or Vandoorne could step onto this grid no problem

I think RD biosphere will work OK within the F1 'community' the weak points are the other staff that will be required at the circuit for normal operation - catering/cleaners/circuit staff/FOM & FIA staff - unless F1 is proposing to test them as well over the weekend and of course the personnel need to go and stay somewhere in the intervening week.

It will reduce risk but not eliminate it which I think FOM has recognised by announcing that even if some one tests positive for Covid-19, the race will still go ahead regardless.

According to rumours the teams have been allegedly told that Canada and Singapore will not take place.

On the uncertain list is USA and Japan.

Mexico 'intends' to hold the race as planned but with an accompanying statement that it may be run behind closed doors or cancelled due to force majeure'.

I guess this is why we have the initial calendar so far as uncertainty exists over other races.

europe is by and large in the same place when it comes to location on the curve and infection rates so they’ve done absolutely the right thing in cracking on and getting a european calendar out. as long as they’re in contact with the teams (obviously they will be) to help them budget and plan accordingly for future potential races then there’s no better way of managing this. we’ve seen how much things have changed from the “cancel everything” headless chickens in mid-march to the more pragmatic plans and protocols in mid-may and that’s only two months.

I think it’s good too they have concentrated on the European schedule for now. At least we have got some of the calendar confirmed. We now await the rest

If one of the Merc drivers tests positive, we may see similar Gutierrez e-sport antics in real life!

Indeed , an integral part of this , will not arrive by the nice charter plane , it is driven there , driving rules apply , means on events like Spain , a whole gaggle of extra stasff will be required to enter the bubble , anyone who believes it will be a super tight ship is kidding themselves , there is holes in it from the start , but if people are sensible and actually take a measured view then it can be as safe as standing in the que for the supermarkt ,after all if its so dangerous to be out there , then nobody would be going outside the front door , the whole world needs to get a grip on reality , we will never beat nature , it will expell us from this planet when it has had enough , it wont be us that kill it , it will be the planet that kills us .

Ross Brawn slightly reeling back from his 19 races...

Formula 1 managing director Ross Brawn says that the eight-race European calendar issued earlier this week would officially count as a world championship, even if no further races can be run.

Usually a world championship has to visit three continents, as prescribed by the FIA's own International Sporting Code.

With regard to the designation "world" it notes: "The cup, trophy, challenge or series calendar must include competitions taking place on at least three continents during the same season."

However, in the unprecedented circumstances of the Covid-19 pandemic that requirement won't have to be met according to Brawn.

"In theory the eight European races will constitute a world championship," Brawn told Autosport.

No races have been scheduled after Monza on 6 September, and teams have been told that the only events outside Europe that are likely to happen are Bahrain and Abu Dhabi at the end of the year.



However, Brawn declined to comment on which races he is most confident in.

"If I'm honest the ones you're confident in one day, it changes the next day because there's so much happening, so I don't want to speculate about that," he said.

"There's a whole range of things that need to be considered, and the financial aspect is part of it, both let's say the holistic effect on F1, and the micro effect of how much it's going to cost us and the teams to go and race there. We're having to make those judgements. That's what we're faced with at the moment.

"There's various options. I think we're going to be able to put a decent season together. I can't honestly tell you what shape it will be, but I think there will be enough races to make a good season."
