It looks like that is going too. Seems that the season will start in Baku, and go from there. Races such as Zandvoort and Barcelona (possibly Bahrain too) with permanent tracks may be rescheduled to fit into the August break
What next for F1 amid the coronavirus?
FIA and F1 have now finally officially postponed Bahrain and Vietnam, stating they will attempt to start the season at the end of May with European races, provided the situation allows them to.
What next for F1 amid the coronavirus?
Because you don’t know exactly who is susceptible until they have it.
Plus there’s the people who already have it, but aren’t susceptible that could go around passing it on right now
AFL to be played behind closed doors amid coronavirus fears
10 years, wow.
Cue Michael Caton
AFL to be played behind closed doors amid coronavirus fears
Yes it didn’t work. Unfortunately that’s the short sightedness of the general paying public here. Now that Holden will officially be no more, it’s just a question of when this public will be forced to support in another way (such as without the whole Holden v Ford angle), will they?
Supercars: Perhaps it's time for a change of heart?
I guess I’m a bit late to the party, but have already started seeing Camaro in Canberra, so it would be a wise, wise decision
Supercars can race on without Holden
I’m guessing you don’t follow Motorsport in Australia much, and know that this already exists?
Supercars can race on without Holden
Usually it’s at a stoppage though. Touchie might say it went out of one team, but are then informed before play starts it was the other way around. Call made during stoppage, no harm done
Ben Cummins is a good man and a great referee – so lay off him!
In Asia? Yes.
A FIFA Nations league?
There’s no point. What’s the point of the World Cup, and there’s not enough time in international windows for this
Asia should have its own Nations League
I don’t think the unsafe Verstappen release is really relevant in comparing the actual incidents.
You can compare the inconsistencies though.
Generally, an unsafe release is given a drive through penalty if the driver is still in the race (see multiple incidents in 2008). Yet, Verstappen was only given 5 seconds.
If you want to compare incident to incident, Monaco 2016 is the one you want to look at. Both incidents on the limit (or just over depending on how you look at it), but very different outcomes from the stewards
Canadian GP and the growing disrespect in sport
If you’re the same Chris, you’re really passing the buck.
The sacking, a subsequent apology and a hamstrung FFA compliance committee
Yeah after a day of it sinking in, I find the penalty acceptable. But, not very consinstent.
I present Monaco 2016 (Hamilton doing exactly this to Ricciardo) to the court Your Honour
Why Lewis Hamilton deserved victory in Canada

Hamilton wins the Canadian Grand Prix - but it should have been Vettel's
Not harsh at all.
Sounds like some of the players made their incorrect choice 6 months ago on their surveys
Matildas disaster was what we've come to expect from football
See the issue with Monaco, is it’s a street circuit that in most places, logistically can’t be modified.
The only major modifications of note I can think of ever at Monaco are:
2006 – Swimming pool complex modified due to land reclaiming, which saw new stands and a tiny bit of run off, and slight modifications to rascasse, as well as finally putting the pit lane behind the garages. On top of this, removal of the wall up the inside of St. devote (removable roundabout that used to be permanent) which now means the pit lane exit is open
Sometime in the 80s (or maybe the 70s), the chicane after the tunnel was modified to its current shape. It used to be further down I believe, and just a quick left right.
Sometime prior to this in the 70s as well, the swimming pool was built, which saw the swimming pool chicanes put in (although, as mentioned earlier, they weren’t as open as they are now), as well as turning what was the final hairpin, into the couple corners they are now (rascasse and Anthony Noughes I think?)
Hamilton wins in Monaco with Lauda in mind
Australia are up to date in those sports, because mostly we are almost the only ones playing them
Three reasons why the A-League should adopt promotion and relegation
Probably because there is usually more top women’s players recently from the US than mens
How does women's sport coverage weigh up?
It’s the same as how Aloisi is the big hero for the shootout win over Uruguay
Leckie on the spot to fire Aussies to Asian Cup quarters
You are clearly a ring in if your answer is “oh hissing mayt, bring hissing back fuooorrrrr”
If you're ‘in the know’ and on Twitter, Stajcic’s sacking makes total sense
Kit makers Adidas will be providing the home team with a retro strip reminiscent of the jerseys worn by Australia against India in 1986.
You kind of corrected it a bit later, but it’s Asics
Why does cricket produce some of the ugliest kits in sport?
I wouldn’t use those A-League teams as a great example.
How about the summer before those games where at the Asian Cup, Canberra was the only city not to host a Socceroos game, but still managed to have the highest “non-Socceroos” average attendance?
More A-League teams for Sydney and Melbourne: Did the FFA get their A-League expansion decision right?
True titan battle this is. Two of the biggest names in Supercars today, and arguably the two biggest teams in not just Australian Motorsport, but worldwide
Side note and irrelevant question:
How many caps are in your collection?
