What will be with 2020 season?

Personally, I'd love to see an 8 race championship.

All Engines and PU's set to full.

Win it or bin it Quali.

It would make for the most exciting and unpredictable season ever.

Yes.
And I think that this season will be more complex than "usual" without any virus limits

And Keke Rosberg became the champion after winning just one race for the season with 15 races.
And Fangio became the champion when was 8 and 9 races for the season.
I.e. in your opinion they are less correct champions than Nico Rosberg?

not this point again, when at anyone have I said that 1950's down count anyless I only care about recent history from 2004 onwards. go back on previous posts as made many points, that was fine because the seasons were on similar length in them era's so makes it of equal value. you cant go 18, 20, 21 , 9, 19, 20. 21 say that 1 off season is worth the same.

i feel there would always be a asterisk on that title. just like if there was 2 or 3 test ashes series, 10 day tour de France, 15 game football season or Wimbledon men playing best of 3. it will always be there & whenever it is said. there will always be a but ......

that is the reality there will be always be asterisk because it will always be the year that he didn't win a full championship. now if they carried on with just 10 rounds from now then that would make it more, but then it would always be mentioned it was much harder back when it was 21 races. but there is more chance of kimi Raikkonen running the London marathon than liberty media having 10 races a season

Main moment why "shortly" season is not easy than "standard": "cost" of errors will be stronger

Official: French Grand Prix called off ‘due to government restrictions’
The June 28th event was previously the first race on the 2020 F1 calendar which had not been cancelled.
The race at Paul Ricard has been in serious doubt since the French government extended its ban on public events until mid-July.

The first races of the season will be held “without fans”, Carey confirmed, but the sport is hopeful later races will not have to be held behind closed doors.

I know the money gods are desperate to get things restarted but sport without fans is dull, tedious and pointless.

is f1 in a good way in that. F1 rarely has an atmosphere during the racing akin to other sports. where crowd is as big a factor on the show. like stadium & arena sports. its really only the podium when that would effect things

 

[Andyoak]

The best thing they could do, in the circumstances, is put all races on live free to air; to generate some interest while there is no other sports on.

Portugal ready to the race in the first week in the June
The track was built in 2008 and held an F1 winter test one year later. It has since gone on to host a range of GT, motorbike and touring car races and events, and has recently undergone development work.
Its managing director Paulo Pinheiro has told The Race that the facility is set to re-open in May and could host major international events behind closed doors “immediately”.

If there is still some form of social distancing if and when the season starts, that will make pit stops a lot more interesting.
