Domenicali has taken over as CEO, and the first thing he did was scrap the 10-15 minute past the hour race starts. Now they'll start at the top of the hour as they did before Carey tore it all up to schedule them for the American TV market, and if anyone misses "the unique build up" to a race, that's their loss.
On the schedule for the coming year, 2 of the long haul races have already been postponed because of virus restrictions. So I expect more of them to fall over the coming months, and we'll end up with a European race dominated calendar again. But the nature of street tracks such as Monaco and Azerbaijan could also fall again this year.
I'll never understand the logic how there is just 5 days rest between Canada and Azerbaijan, but 9 months separating the race in Bahrain from the race in UAE.
