The Corona-virus has led to the postponement of the Heineken Chinese Grand Prix. Yes, there’s some irony in the disappointment. But for Liberty Media, could this be an opportunity to turn race promoter? Can they host a ‘private’ Grand Prix in place of China just so that we have 22 races this year? Let’s remember that there’s money to lose if the calendar is reduced to 21 races in 2020. If not China, where would you like to see Formula 1 race twice at this season? We got interesting responses from our listeners.
Also in this episode of the Inside Line F1 Podcast (http://bit.ly/ilf1ponkf1b) – are the Strolls considering to host a Stroll Grand Prix at a Stroll Racing Circuit to replace China? If the Strolls aren’t of much interest to you, here’s more – Has Formula 1 moved on from Fernando Alonso or will he get a second shot in the sport? How’s it that Sebastian Vettel still commands a towering fee despite his repeated mistakes? Tune in!

3:00-6:00 – We advice the Russian promoters on how they could’ve handled a swap of race with China; just so that we get 22 Formula 1 races – but, instead of China, where would you like Formula 1 to race twice at in 2020?
6:00-9:00 – Let’s race twice this year in Spa? Can the second race at Spa be a night race? What about bringing Germany back? Or let’s race at any circuit, but in reverse. Lots of suggestions from our listeners & our own list!
9:00-12:00 – Should Liberty Media turn race promoter & host a ‘private’ Formula 1 Grand Prix to fill in for China’s slot? (https://www.kunalsf1blog.com/liberty-media-f1-promoter-race/) We discuss this radical solution. If not Liberty Media, can the Strolls and host a Stroll Grand Prix at a Stroll Racing Circuit?
