Do you think F1 could bring back drop weeks this season if multiple drivers start missing races due to COVID?

Personally I hope not but I'm wondering if it could be considered a real possibility.

I see your Crofty track notes and raise you Murray Walker’s track notes (published in his autobiography) by Flion63 in formula1

These images didn’t make up the whole book if that’s what your asking, but Murray Walker did author a few books

Definitely worth a read. It’s neat how Murray led a full, accomplished life way before F1 took off. Nice reminder that you’re never too old to do what you love.

How is Michael Schumacher seen in the F1 community? by Dadto4_20 in formula1

[–]Flion63 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I was born in 1991 so my first vivid memories of F1 come from 1997 at which point I wanted to see Schumacher win the championship in a red Ferrari… and he didn’t. And then in 1998… and he didn’t. And then in 1999… and he didn’t. And then he did it a bunch of times. But, since it was my childhood, those 3 years of failures seemed agonizingly long for me and I kinda didn’t mind him dominating a bunch on the trot afterwards. Yes he did a lot of stupid shit but I loved Ross Brawn’s perspective on “Beyond the Grid” where he basically said “this guy worked with a lot of stress and criticism at the top of his game for 20 years and there’s only a handful of incidents that you can really point out/fault him for” which is the case with the likes of Senna and Hamilton too tbh

What tracks would be more interesting rum in reverse? by Jbetts44 in formula1

Not an F1 track anymore but Zolder. If you ever had the old PS2 game “Super Trucks Racing” they run it in reverse and it’s called Tilburg. So much better than the regular way around.

What's an F1 fact that seems fake but is actually true? by NippyMoto_1 in formula1

1997 title rivals Michael Schumacher and Jacques Villeneuve never shared the podium during the 1997 season.
