Unconfirmed News:

Vettel races 2021 with Racing Point/Aston Martin.
The definite YES should be confirmed in Spa.

And also very likely:
Stroll has to leave Racing Point.
Why ?

Stroll said this today to Channel 4:

If he (Note - Strolls "Dad") separates me from the team, then okay. That would be a business decision, and that's how it works every now and then. I would certainly take it with composure. "

Perez has "Sponsorship Money" on his Side....

Another "Rumor"......

Hülkenberg should replace Vettel during the actual 2020 Season.

Good Perez is the better driver anyway and Hulk should definitely replace Seb as I believe Seb is deliberately not trying.

Just when you thought the 2020 calendar couldn’t get any better… F1 is set to return to the awesome Istanbul Park in Turkey. And also to Jerez in Spain. Dates have still to be confirmed but the races are happening.

Funny moment from yesterday's race when they were talking about Lewis being a vegan.

Martin Brundle: "How does Valtteri Bottas get inside Lewis' head?"

Nico Rosberg: "Well at Silverstone they slept in motorhomes next to each other. He should have put a massive grill under Lewis' window and slapped burgers on there...10 per night."

 

[AmandaRose]

Indy 500 this weekend and I predict the winner will be Pato O'Ward. I also predict Alonso will have a big crash in the last lap.

Bloody "Money Making"...only for that the Rich are getting richer...THAT is honestly the Way to save Money...not only on the Teams

 

[DjoeN]

It's a good thing F1 has started and a full season is been done!
I don't miss the fans being on the track, in F1 who needs actual fans on the side
I just watch any motosport on tv (MotoGP/F1/F2/Rally, whatever...)

One,two...sold Williams....

Williams Racing sold to US investment company

Williams Racing and with it the traditional Formula 1 team have been sold to the US investment company Dorilton Capital. That became official on Friday. The team will continue to compete as Williams in the World Cup, and Grove will remain the base of the racing team in Great Britain.

Williams has had significant financial problems for years, which have recently worsened in the CoV crisis. In Dorilton Capital they have found a new owner, "who understands the sport and knows what it takes to be successful," said Koteam boss Claire Williams. The investor also respects “the legacy of the team”.

“This is the end of an era for Williams as a family-run team. But we know that the team is in good hands, ”said Claire Williams about the takeover, which had been on the horizon for some time due to the strategic realignment that had become necessary.

The Formula 1 racing team Williams was founded in 1977 by Frank Williams, the father of Claire Williams, and Patrick Head. The team won the constructors' championship a total of nine times. The last driver's world title was won in 1997 by the Canadian Jacques Villeneuve. The Briton George Russell and the Canadian Nicholas Latifi are currently driving for the rear end of the World Championship without points after six races.
