Nice but spoilt by the pointless introduction of red. It just doesn't look right in my opinion.

Maybe it's so Hamilton can have at least a tiny taste of driving in red

Formula 1’s two Canadian drivers, Lance Stroll and Nicholas Latifi, will race under licenses issued by the USA this year after Canada’s national sporting authority resigned its mandate from the FIA.

ASN Canada FIA, the body which organises motorsport in Canada, voluntarily resigned last December. Former president Paul Cooke and vice-president Roger Peart, both in their eighties, decided they could no longer dedicate the requisite effort to the ASN. This left Racing Point’s Stroll and Williams driver Latifi, the latter making his F1 debut this year, unable to obtain licenses in their home country.
However the FIA International Sporting Code permits ASNs to issue licenses to foreigners. Representatives of the drivers’ teams confirmed that the Automobile Competition Committee for the United States have issued licenses for Stroll and Latifi to compete in the 2020 F1 season.

Any recognition of the drivers’ nationalities during race weekends, for instance during podium ceremonies, will remain unchanged, as the code states: “All Drivers, irrespective of the nationality of their licence, participating in any FIA world championship competition, shall retain the nationality of their passport in all official documents, publications and prize-giving
ceremonies.”

Arrangements are being made by the FIA to appoint a substitute Canadian national sporting authority by the end of March – too late for licence issuance for 2020. This development is not expected to affect the running of June’s Canadian Grand Prix at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.

Another Point that Formula 1 never achieve - The Recognition and Status like the NASCAR Series for example.

Formula 1 in the USA/North America was never that popular like Indy Car for Example and would never be.
In the Past, 3 North America Grand Prix's could not do this and will not be able to do so in the Future.

As Expected:

FIA postpones China GP due to corona virus (maybe also the Vietnam/Hanoi Grand Prix)

As expected, Formula 1 is postponing the Chinese Grand Prix due to the corona virus.
The fourth race of the season on the Shanghai International Circuit, which is actually scheduled for April 19, should be made up later this year, if the situation improves, the motorsport king class and the International Automobile Association (FIA) announced on Wednesday.

The organizer of the race asked for the relocation after lengthy discussions with the FIA, the Chinese Motorsport Association and the Shanghai Sports Authority, the message said. With this decision, "the health and safety of traveling employees, the World Cup starters and fans" should be ensured.

The Formula 1 season starts on March 15 in Melbourne, Australia, and a week later it continues in the Sakhar desert in Bahrain. On April 5, Vietnam is to drive on a street circuit in Hanoi for the first time. But there are now doubts about the corona virus at the premiere of this race. Hanoi is only around 150 kilometers from the border with China.

F1 boss Carey can also live with rejection

While Vietnam still has to tremble, a final cancellation in Shanghai is not off the table. Due to the tight racing calendar with the record number of 22 seasonal runs, it will be extremely difficult to find an alternative date for China. Formula One boss Chase Carey also knows this.

"We will not do something that is not good for us or the teams," the 66-year-old promised. "We like the 22 races calendar, but we can live with 21." The last Formula 1 race in 2011 was canceled. At the time, the Bahrain Grand Prix was not held at the start of the season due to political unrest in the country.

The wait for Formula 1 is over. In mid-February 2020, the usual winter test drives in Barcelona will be just around the corner. Sebastian Vettel, Lewis Hamilton and Co. will show their new cars for the first time at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.

The first week of testing runs from February 19 to 21, from Wednesday to Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. There is a lunch break every day between 1:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. The following week will be followed by three more days from February 26th to 28th, the schedule remains the same.

The total test time has therefore changed compared to the previous year. While a total of eight days were scheduled in 2019, 2020 was reduced to six days. The main reason for this was the longer season, as 22 races were to be held for the first time. Now the China GP is unsure, but that no longer affects the test plan.

Argh! Of course I meant 1999. It looks nothing like the 97 livery!
