The organization of the Formula 1 World He intends to announce several grand prizes this week rather than adding to the eight already confirmed in the reduced schedule of the 2020 World Cup. The first of them could be at Mugello, a race called the Tuscan GP. The track would host its premiere in Formula 1 on September 13, a week after the Italian GP in Monza, and in what would be the 1,000th race of Ferrari in F1. It is an extraordinary nod to the Italian team, which also owns the Florence racetrack.
Daniel Ricciardo, driver of Renault this season and McLaren the following, was the first to welcome Mugello: “I love high speed and linked corners and I think that in a Formula 1 it would be incredible. We had some tests in 2012 there, but with the cars of 2020, it would be crazy. ”
The Italian circuit has hosted Formula 1 tests on several occasions, but has always been unable to compete for a grand prize given the presence on the calendar of the iconic Monza.
Mugello would not be the only premiere. If the rumors are confirmed, the Algarve racetrack, in Portimao, will also be able to debut in Formula 1. It is another circuit highly valued by the drivers. Released in 2008, it has hosted races in most of today’s car championships, except for the main one. Its constant ups and downs, its blind curves and the width of its track are its main characteristics.
His entry into the World Cup had been a recurring topic of conversation in the past, but if nothing goes wrong, it will be now when he has his chance due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Portimao It would take place on October 4, but before there is still room for the Russian GP in Sochi. It will be the Russian authorities who decide whether to compete there or not. If not, Hockenheim you choose to keep the date of September 27.
Apart from these three tests, there are eight other grand prizes from the original calendar that have yet to decide what to do: China, Canada, Vietnam, Mexico, the United States, Brazil, Bahrain and Abu Dhabi.
The grand prizes definitively canceled are Australia, the Netherlands, Monaco, France, Azerbaijan, Singapore and Japan.
