Imola, Hockenhem and Portimao are apparently among those interested. https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/f1-2020-calendar-circuits-carey/4789642/ Imola would be amazing, IMO.

Various sportscars (both LMS prototypes and GT) and also superbikes raced there in recent years, always a magnificent track. It reminds me of Spa a bit... A lot of fast corners, elevation changes, the whole track has a very nice flow to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long and and wide straight, some nice corners and as you said, the elevation changes. That big hill at 01:00 looks amazing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A pity, I don't regularly read them but always saw them as one of the better sources of news coverage anyway. Yeah they are one of the better ones still - but I think in general, journalism has gone downhill. I still go there for football/sport news and other news stories but even so, a lot of it has followed what social media is like - it's more about grabbing attention with a headline (the clickbait) and in some cases the likes/followers/hits on a site as opposed to yearning for and displaying the truth. I'm guilty of it too at times and that's the truth (ironically)!. The headline in question (F1 in 2020) is a perfect example of that. All the talk is about what will happen to races. One day there's hope of races continuing, season starting on X date at a certain track. The next day it's that headline saying 'no F1 in 2020' but it grabs the readers because they seek controversy, contradictions to catch people out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"(It will be) some form of chaos, hopefully in a controlled manner," Ricciardo told BBC Radio 5 Live. "I am not really referencing cars everywhere. But there is going to be so much rust, a combination of emotion, excitement, eagerness." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
