Official 2020 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix **SPOILERS**
Discussion
Round 13 and Imola, a proper F1 circuit, even if it’s not quite the same as it used to be. Probably the most interesting thing will be the new 2-day timetable; there seems to be some possibility of this being adopted if successful.
Hamilton will win I imagine.

I wonder if busy circuits like Silverstone would be happy to lose an entire days income from moving to a 2 day format?Liberty could do with making more of it anyway, the fan zone should be massively extended with driver interviews, live music/dj sets and all the rest of it.
I wonder if there's some contractual agreements in place, you'd imagine there is?
If, as expected, Covid-19 is still very much with us next season there is more reason than ever to move it along to two days. It must create some issues with a full roster of races however with F1, F2, F3 and Supercup if there's inclimate weather.

I wonder if busy circuits like Silverstone would be happy to lose an entire days income from moving to a 2 day format?It works this year when there’s limited crowds, only a couple of support races and the need to get as many races as possible into a short timescale. If ever there was a year to experiment with things, this year is probably the time to do it.
It should also add uncertainty, as the teams will go into qualifying with a lot less data than they’d usually have. The grid order is probably still going start with cars 44, 77 and 33, but there’s a bigger chance of something unusual.

I might assume that circuits/organisers would pay less to F1 for 2 days rather than 3 Or am I not living in a real world ?
I think there's a real case for the three day events, especially for the promoters. Is it really that hard getting all the equipment from one European country to another in a couple of days?The back to backs take some organisation obviously but it's not like they can't do it.
The boost to tourism of a three day F1 weekend can't be underestimated, whenever I've done European races we always get there for Fridays and it's genuinely busy.

Anyone watch teds notebook after portugal racw?
Always find it refreshing to watch. After the drama and emotions of the race, its nice to see the normal world.
People putting things away, walking dogs, just chilling.
Was better before covid as you see people sitting together talking and have a good time. Wish i worked in f1 even any job would be cool.

The last Imola race was 2006. Of the current F1 drivers, only Kimi was in that race, Lewis was in the F2 support races. Vettel was a Sauber test driver in 2006, but not at this event.
