Some quick formula 1 news and rumours .

Lewis has finally agreed a contract with Mercedes for the 2021 season. Lewis wanted a four year contract but ended up with a 1 year contract.

Looks like George Russell will be replacing Hamilton in 2022 as Mercedes are unwilling to give Lewis the amount of money he is asking for.

Romain Grosjean to make racing return in IndyCar with Dale Coyne move confirmed for 2021 season

Hamilton has a little "Contract Addition":

He can choose/decide,if he "do not like" a new Teammate (.....for Example a maybe too challenging Russell ??).........:rolleyes:

Two new teams set to enter Formula 1 in 2022

The addition of Pather Racing and Team Monaco will mean we will have 12 teams and 24 drivers. There may also be a return of pre qualifying qualifying with the shit teams having to pre qualify to actually take place in qualification just like in the early 80s.

There may also be another new team joining as well.

Fact or rumour? Wouldn't mind new teams but 24 drivers plus a another 2 feels too packed with maybe pre qualifying session format helping there but could become repetative with which 2/3 teams fail.

Team Monaco are 99% in they just need to iron out a few details. And Pather are 50-50 as they want in but are unsure if they are gonna buy an existing team or enter as a completely new team.

F1 Boss Stefano Domenicali has scraped the usual $200 million fee new teams need to pay to enter Formula 1. He has done this as he wants to get a good few new teams to enter to make race days a bit more exciting.

We now have a race for the TBC on May 2nd.

May 2nd will see a return to Portugal for another race at Portimão

F1 bosses are also looking at getting rid of qualifying and replacing it with a sprint race on the Saturday. I really hope they don't do this.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.com/sport/amp/formula1/55992727

I think a sprint race is a right move but instead of deciding qualification by who finishes where they should a drop zone elimination format where every 2-3 minutes after the 1st 3 laps a car is dropped out and 1/2 points should be on offer for 9-1 places as .5 for 10th doesn't make sense.

Fernando Alonso has been involved in a road accident while cycling in Switzerland.

The Spaniard, who is returning to Formula 1 this season after a two-year absence, is "conscious and well in himself", according to his Alpine team.

Alpine said Alonso would have further medical examinations on Friday, without confirming whether he was in hospital.

Sources close to Alonso say he was hit by a car near his Lugano home and the indications are he has a jaw fracture.

There is currently no news if Fernando will be fit enough to take the grid for the opening race of the season.
