Portugal this weekend. The ONLY good thing to have come out of COVID is that we've been able to revisit some favourite tracks from years gone and some other new circuits. It's great that the f1 circus has found its way back to Portugal.
It's the only circuit on the calendar without a chicane anywhere on the circuit. Even Monaco has one. One retirement in the race there, about as exciting for us neutrals as a race at Paul Ricard. I preferred the Estoril circuit, much narrower and less margin for error.
Canada has been the second country to cancel a race this season, allowing Turkey back, meaning a European season all the way to the chequered flag in Sochi. And I'm sure the circus will be happier to travel to Turkey in less than a week from Baku, rather than Canada.
Grosjean has got himself a seat in a Merc at Paul Ricard. It's rather difficult to find a gravel trap, let alone hit a barrier at that track. But even when he has the track all to himself, it's no guarantee that his drive will end, in one or the other.
