13: Unusual Calendar To Be Expected For F1 2020

In these unprecedented times, could Formula 1 run unusual experiments in 2020? The obvious suggestions have been running races clockwise and anti-clockwise or running 'Grand Slam' races or a 2020-21 super season. But could Formula 1 also explore more unusual options? How about racing on a non-weekend day? Okay, if that's doesn't make the cut with you, would a quadruple header do? Also in this episode of the Inside Line F1 Podcast (https://bit.ly/insidelinef1pod) , we foresee Liberty Media turning into a race promoter this season to host 'TV-only' or 'fan-free' races (mark our words!). Could the French Grand Prix be offered a surprise promotion in 2020 despite delivering a miserable race in 2019? Would the Virtual Grands Prix be as much fun without the driver banter? We explain the dilemma behind the to-be lowered budget caps and we guess the four teams that Zak Brown thinks could face extinction in 2020. Tune in! (Season 2020, Episode 13) Here's what's in store for you in this episode: 0:00-3:00 - The 2020 Canadian Grand Prix has been cancelled.

Hear our list that includes - a quadruple header? A non-Sunday race day? 9:00-12:00 - A 'TV-only' or 'fan-free' race might be a wise in-between solution for Formula 1 to host races in 2020. But it's not as simple as organising a race and not selling tickets! 12:00-15:00 - Will Liberty Media go from being rights holders to race promoters in 2020? There's millions of television viewers waiting for a live sporting event. Which sport will get there first? 15:00-18:00 - Is it the Virtual Grand Prix that's fun or the banter between the drivers? We're sure it's the latter 18:00-21:00 - The dilemma behind Formula 1's lower budget caps - we explain how customer teams could get to spend more than the manufacturer teams 21:00-end - We guess the four Formula 1 teams that Zak Brown believes could be in danger of extinction in 2020 Subscribe via our magic link (https://bit.ly/insidelinef1pod) that works on all devices & platforms!
