Just what they need. The young yank boss has no connection to, or experience of, F1 (but grandpa owned FIAT (and therefore Ferrari)) and here he is doing interviews in Gazzetta dello Sport (The Italian bible of sporting newspapers). Is he just trying to rein in expectations - it's not what the tifosi want to hear regardless. I notice he blames the chassis for the performance deficit. No reference to the dodgy power unit being reigned in by the FIA and ruining the performance of all 3 Ferrari powered teams. If they don't invest though they'll be further behind when the new rules come in 2022, and they've got to use their financial muscle before the budget restrictions.

Spanish GP must be under threat again now. New lockdown in Catalonia plus new 14 day quarantine for returnees to Britain as of midnight tonight.

Marquez decides against it. Quatararo on pole from Mav, Peco, and Rossi.

The Imola weekend is being shortened to give the teams time to get there from Southern Portugal.

3 more GPs confirmed at Nurburgring, Imola and Portimao. Reports also suggest Canada/USA/Mexico/Brazil all binned.

Mav + Vale 1-2 today. MM back on the bike tomorrow with pinned humerus!

2020. Is it really shaping up for a 3 team title battle? Or does Mercedes relatively poor 2nd half of 2019 predict change at the front?
