Mercedes looked very strong in testing, actually more so than the past few seasons IMO. Gotta go with Bottas on this one, he won it last year and was very quick during the past few weeks :) Will we see more than 3 teams fight for the podium this year?

Still nothing official but that's the only reasonable thing to do. They should never have tried to race this weekend.
"Cash is king," as Hamilton said. I hope he was serious when he said that the drivers would rise up and block any racing if the situation got worse. Verstappen said it should be cancelled the moment a team pulled back.
It's all a real shame as 2020 looked to be a very interesting season where things might finally change.

I think it's better to cancel than to have something like Indianapolis. You don't want to punish a team for being cautious about their employees' safety. Feel terrible for everyone who has worked so hard preparing for the season, and all of the workers at the track, travel agents, fans who have traveled etc.
Seems the whole sporting world is basically going to be shut down for a few months, until this all hopefully settles down. Traveling all over the world and assembling in large groups is exactly the opposite of what's being recommended.

Whelp, Bahrain and Viet Nam have been cancelled (cause I can't see how postponing would even work) now as well...
The Bahrain and Vietnam Grands Prix have been postponed due to the continued global spread of coronavirus. The races had been set for March 20-22 at the Bahrain International Circuit in Sakhir, and April 3-5 at the recently completed Hanoi Circuit.

Australian Grand Prix
How it works
Predicting the winner would be much too easy in a field of twenty where only six drivers (if that) will likely contest most wins. To make things more interesting you will have to predict the top three finishers in the correct order and do so before the start of the qualifying session on Saturday.
Race Preview
Well, there's only one thing to talk about at the start of this new season: Corona. BREAKING: it's just been classified as a pandemic.
It sure is understandable why many people think it's a bad idea to put people from all around the world into the small space that is Albert Park (four F1 team people have just been put into quarantine). But the city of Melbourne is to lose millions if the race doesn't go through. Ticket sales are reportedly slow, normally the race would be long sold out by now.
Add to this the postponement of the China Grand Prix with the announcement of the same for Viet Nam being right around the corner. It's going to be an interesting season...
Oh, the race? Your guess is as good as mine. Bottas won last year.
