The 2020 calendar is here! We finally have clarity on what this year will be like, a benchmark that the drivers were asking for to start entering their bubble and accelerate their preparation. Some are already determined on their fate, like Danilo Petrucci who knows that he no longer has to convince Ducati who pushed him out of his factory box.

The pilot from Terni. Finished : " we will all have to adapt, but now what matters is finally having a start date. And for the good of all, we must also commit to respecting the health safety rules of each country where the Grands Prix will take place. ". Even to wash your dirty laundry with your family?
