"This is one option”He also confirmed Jean Todt, President FIA. "That's not good, of course, but still better than no race,He added Brown.

More racing, more money

Of course it goes in all this, as always, for loves money. There will be more formula 1 perform races, more will deserved. In contracts television rights it is written that it must be carried out at least 15 dirk, from Liberty Medium gets the full amount. To be global championship officially, but it is necessary to carry out according to the rules eight dirk. Brawn thought of that case, too. “We can have eight races if we start in October."It simply came to his notice then absolutely the last pointwhen they can still start the season. Theoretically, there is also the possibility that the season extends until January. "This has been debated and is in the hands of the majority holder of commercial rights," so Jean Todt, who at the time believes that this is impossible. “This brings many complications,”He added Brown.

In the lead Formula 1 they are still confident they can make it this year nice number of races. "Once we know we can start, then we could have two to three races a month,”He says Dead. "If we were to start in July or August and then race until December, we have five or six months at our disposal, multiplied by three."

The biggest concern is the many strangers

It's still there many strangers. No one ever will finally started and also not yet reserve terms for postponed races. Brown he attributes it to complexity Formula 1 and that they will have to do it over and over again turn everything upside down, if any race is canceled, as last time Canada and you want to put it under the roof somewhere. “For this reason, we thought it best to wait for the situation to stabilize before publishing any calendar," so Brown, who in the same breath announces that they will some races took place in unusual time. China would be v November problematic due to the weather, but nevertheless feasible. Shanghai however, it could also be among the races with a shortened racing weekend.
