Bummer, was really looking forward to Hanoi 2021...


"...Vietnam was due to host its first F1 grand prix in 2020 prior to its cancellation due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and was initially included on the draft calendar circulated to teams last month.

But the race in Hanoi will no longer feature on the calendar, with sources indicating the race is being scrapped due to ongoing political issues over the race. ..."

yikes, the story just keeps worse...


"... Chairman at Hanoi People’s Committee, Nguyen Duc Chung got arrested in August for alleged appropriation of documents containing state secrets. With such a heavy allegation, F1 may not be looking ahead to future races at Vietnam.

Yet more useless information based on speculation and brought to you at great expense by AWS.

Next up:
If any race is cancelled due to Covid19 every driver will roll 2 dice. Based on the wrist action, the total and the drivers previous performance at that track AWS will decide the outcome of the race.....................

From your comment, I take it that this will be as useless as the tyre degradation graphic.
