Formula 1 is really about to start. It seems like the extra long “winter break” that the pandemic has caused is about to end up, leaving space to a new season.

The 2020 one is not going to be a “normal one” in this case either, though. The new official schedule, in fact, refers only to the first eight races of the season and they have assured that the remaining Grands Prix will have their dates as well, but in the close future.

 Let’s begin to have a look at the first one of this revised schedule and let’s cross our finger we are doing this for the last time.

All the events are, by now, the ones that have to take place in Europe. They are going to be held at closed doors, in a higly-protected and closely monitored situation of the planned “bio-sphere”.

The first Grand Prix of the 2020 season will be on the 5^th  of July in Austria, as we already now and later on the second one will be held in the Red Bull Circuit as well on the following Sunday, the 12^th of July.

The third race will take place for the third consecutive Sunday in Budapest and the Hungarian GP’s date is set to the 19^th  of July.

Now the Formula 1 staff can breathe- not too much- before heading to Great Britain, where they will find another double race waiting for them. The first race to be raced in Silverstone is on the week-end that bridges from July to August, from the 31^st  of July to the 2^nd of August.

Obviously, there is not going to be any summer break for the teams on this season and the races will go on through August as well. The second British GP will have its chance to race on the 9^th of August. Then the Circus will move to Barcelona for the Spanish GP on the 16^th of August and later on there will be the Belgian GP on the 30^th of August.

The last planned Grand Prix of this schedule is the Italian GP that is set on the 6^th of September.

Please don’t say it too loud, but it seems we are almost back.
