Formula 1’s fate is unknown in the aftermath of the pandemic. In this episode, we discuss a few ‘WHAT IF’ scenarios for F1 2020. Serious as it may sound, it’s actually a lot of fun!
In this week’s episode of the Inside Line F1 Podcast, we discuss a few WHAT IF scenarios. What if Mercedes leaves Formula 1? What if Nico Rosberg makes a comeback? What if the entire grid were to get Ferrari’s power units? What if Stroll-Wolff buy Formula 1 from Liberty Media? OR what if Bernie Ecclestone buys Formula 1 back from Liberty Media? ECC’s said that he’s not interested…but again, do you really believe that he isn’t?
What if Sebastian Vettel doesn’t renew with Ferrari? What if Renault leaves Formula 1? Worse, what if Haas leave? Will Liberty Media get Guenther Steiner a management role in another team on the grid? He’s the star of Drive to Survive, after all. We’ve got a crazy episode lined up, so tune in!
