The cancellation of the 2020 F1 Australian Grand Prix owing to coronavirus

It was not until the last minute that Formula 1 announced the cancellation of the 2020 Australian GP, following a coronavirus case being reported in the paddock. The organizing body and FIA both received criticism for its handling of the situation, which could have given rise to more problems.

A frenetic ‘silly season’ in the F1 drivers’ market

Following Ferrari’s announcement of not renewing Sebastian Vettel’s contract for 2021, the Italian team quickly moved to secure Carlos Sainz’s services. Daniel Ricciardo then jumped ship to McLaren with Vettel going to Aston Martin. Later in the season, Sergio Perez also moved to Red Bull.

Alex Albon’s ousting from Red Bull Racing F1

A troubled season for the Thai driver saw him deliver under-par performances compared to teammate Max Verstappen, which ultimately led to his exit. The pursuit of Perez’s signing behind the scenes in that regard will also be interesting to follow.

Grosjean’s fiery crash and miraculous escape

Having suffered a brutal crash at the 2020 Bahrain GP, Haas’ Romain Grosjean made an incredible escape from the scene of the accident. His reaction and recovery to the incident might get included in the episodes concerning that part of the season.

Lewis Hamilton creating glorious history

The 36-year-old lifted his seventh F1 title in imperious fashion, equaling the legendary Michael Schumacher’s titles tally. Hamilton breaking the 91 wins milestone set by the German icon might also become an intriguing sub-storyline.

Finally, the emergence of the dark horse to rise against all odds, and complete a shock victory at Monza. The AlphaTauri driver’s win would be one to savor for a long time, and rightly so.
