When it was clear F1 had been cancelled for the foreseeable future, NowTV refunded my entire F1 subscription cost. It's a shame Sky don't do the same.
Presumably yes. No announcements have been made on different layouts.Maybe stupid question:
Will the double header events be raced with identical track layouts?
I don't get why they didn't name the second race at either the Red Bull Ring or Silverstone the European Grand Prix. Maybe they were afraid of anti-European Britains going mad and waving around their red £350 million busses, but I don't see any reason for Austria.
I think an elite sports stars exception (and presumably their retinues) announcement is expected soonHow is the first British GP possible after less than 14 days of Hungarian GP
I seem to remember reading somewhere that half the design team was in London and half were in Los Angeles hence LOLA. Although I have nothing to back that up with, so more grist for the mill.Beautiful cars indeed. Remembered building models of these growing up.
Does anyone know where the name LOLA came from though ?
Two of the GPs (Hungary and Spain) are sponsored by Aramco. Last time I checked, that was the Ar(ab)Am(erican) [Oil]co(mpany). The Saudis are building an F1 certified track, but they could have a Saudi Arabian GP in Europe before they are even awarded a race date! How's that for continent leaping, name swapping and plain old culture shock?Yeah even Baku was fine as European Grand Prix so why not now? Strange. They could always go with Liechtenstein Grand Prix as well for Red Bull Ring, not any more wrong than the famous Luxembourg or San Marino Grand Prix's.
Reverse the track for the second weekend!! That would be something to see.
