The 1st news was my prediction.
About the second is a very big deal maybe too big, teams already spent a lot of millions on next year's cars and I don't think they can afford the project of a brand new car/evolution car for the next year.

Also about DAS if this will happen, DAS has already banned ATM for the 2021 cars but if they will postpone the new cars...
I have the feeling that DAS will be banned this year also if this will happen.

These are three of the best races of the calendar.We all know the beauty of Monaco Gp and we also know that the Dutch Gp would have been a new addition to the calendar of F1 this year.As for the Spanish Gp it is one of the most iconic races of F1 and also of the MotoGp.These are sad news but health above all.

I’m glad to know that F1 has finally decided to postpone their races though as a fan it feels sad, but as you’ll have rightly said health is more important than the sport. There’s one breaking news too not sure if you’ll have seen or no where it’s claimed that Wolff exit will clear the path for Hamilton to join Ferrari. What are your views on it will we finally see him make the switch or just another baseless rumour?.

I thought Monaco GP was gonna be cancelled.  Like no race for the year.

Anyway...  So I guess we'll see two more seasons of Hamilton and Merc getting both Driver's and Constructor's championships after this one.  Meh.

I don’t think it will be easy this year for any team because there will be longer delays from race to race and this can be a good thing for the fans as in a race anything can happen.This year and this situation reminds me of the MotoGp season of 2000 with an outsider with Suzuki won the Championship because during that year most of the races were during rain and this rider ride the best of anyone in rain.I think it was Kenny Roberts the name of the rider.

If I'm not wrong Gp are not canceled but postponed, for now, they can race in the second half of the year if the situation will be better.

It is postponed but it feels like it is canceled.
The championship didn't even get started so it is like the whole F1 has been canceled. The end of April is going to be a milestone as we are going to realize then what it is going to happen with the championship.

If they will cancel Monaco it will something historical, it will be the 1st time when we will have not the Monaco GP in a championship.
If I can remember correctly after Monaco there is only Monza with a race on every year of F1.

It's already cancelled. It's not a race that really miss, because it's most boring track. But it's sad. And it feels like this F1 season aren't going to begin at all, considering what's going on in the world and how pandemy is developping...
F1 are going to postpone Baku GP too - https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/baku-ajerbaijan-postponed-season-delay/4772012/
BTW, F1 wasn't held in Monza in 1980, but yeah, it's one of historic tracks together with Monaco.

Whoa you right, the Italian GP in 1980 wasn't in Monza but on Imola.

Anyway

Small update.

If you are interested on F1 some drivers are now competing with Esports pro in simulated GP and they are streamed on F1 official channels, they are quite interesting to watch if you wanna pass some time.

Still no info on the 1st race of the real F1.

@coinlockets$ can you leave a direct link to view these races, and since you’re recommending it I’ll try and watch these races. Also as far as the F1 races are concerned I don’t think we’ll get to see any races in April or May, so my best bet is to see them in June but let’s wait for a official word from the organisers.

I think he is talking about this race, Lando challenge - https://youtu.be/5g1EwMxqKpc
I watched it yesterday a bit, not a fan of esports, but it was really fun. F1 stream their esports race on their Youtube Facebook and probably Twitch channels. Also, they upload classic F1 races every Saturday. When there is no racing now, it's good thing to watch.

^  Some sports bettng sites should prolly lay some lines on those.  Lolol.  

Anyway, I think this could be a perfect time for Esports 'athletes' to shine and showcase their skillz.  Everybody's prolly nerding it out online right now.  Let your inner need reveal itself.  

[Naida_BR]

The most exciting event that FIA can do is to organize a virtual tournament of F1 where drivers would be the official drivers of F1.
I think that it will attract a lot of fans and in the same time drivers would have fun driving/playing the video game safely from their house.

I agree.It is a whole lot more fun to play a F1 head to head or participating in a tournament of 20 persons playing online against each other than it is to play soccer head to head.If the event is live streamed it is even better.I think we can forget about F1 races until September given the situation.

Maybe it would be interesting for fans, but I doubt that they are going to make such competition. Not all F1 drivers are gamers, there is only few Like Norris or Verstappen who are really good at playing F1. Other drivers who don't play usually wouldn't have chance against them. I hardly can imagine Kimi playing F1 game...

A new race has been concluded if you miss formula 1 these kinds of events are a nice thing to watch in this hard time.

Have fun with the race, I think you can bet on these somewhere.

@coinlocket$ these are esports and they’re fun to watch, but I wasn’t aware that there were virtual races in F1 too and since I now know I’ll definitely try and watch these races as and when they take place. Also you can definitely bet on them if your sports book provides betting on esports, however I’m not sure what kind of odds one will get so if anyone places any bets on these races, do update us here about your odds and which sports book you used.

MOTO Gp of Italy and Spain are not postponed due to Coronavirus.

Do we even have some races this year? I'm starting to doubt it.
