Not sure about Imola, it’s tight and twisty, but Algarve (Portimao) could be fun. Nice elevation changes, some interesting corners. Not a ton of passing zones but a neat track.

Nurburgring is an ok track. I prefer Hockenheim.

I just like the variety. I loved the idea Liberty had to alternate or rotate certain GP.

I agree Cecil. I'd love it if there was a way to have a set 15-18 tracks and then a random 4-6. You dont know where you're going until a week before. No sim time, no prep time, no special aero packages, etc. Just get out there and race.

I love the fact there going to these old tracks.

Well I picked the wrong month to take a break from CP... I feel like Williams.

The drivers are going to spend a lot of time on the simulator.

At least F1 drivers get practice sessions before the race. NASCAR drivers haven't since they started after their COVID break, and in a couple weeks they go to new track to 75% of them. Turn 1 is going to be a ####show.

Ya, it's gotta be tough at NASCAR, having to work out the correct time to turn left.

It is, especially since you aren't allowed so much as a lap to set something as basic as ride height.

Don’t suppose they can add India next? How about Korea?

Half kidding. But I like those tracks.

FFS...just saw that. I need F1 in my life right now! Just really hope he didnt pass it off to anyone else at RP or the paddock. He's likely going to miss next week as well depending on how long he has to quarantine and when he tests negative.

I assume they'll have someone else drive now?? Would be either Stoffel Van Doorne or Esteban Gutierrez I believe.

I'll get my prediction in now and hope none of the other drivers drop out:

Hamilton
Bottas
Verstappen
Albon
Sainz
Leclerc
Stroll
Hulkenberg
Ricciardo
Ocon

Last edited by Arsenal14; 07-31-2020 at 11:10 AM. Reason: Putting Hulk in, dropping Vettel. May regret this.
