F1 postpones the first four races (Australia, Bahrain, Vietnam, China) and sounds like Netherlands and Spain may also be canceled, as they say they're targeting Monaco on Memorial Day weekend as the start of the season.

Dutch, Spanish, and Monaco GPs now postponed. No F1 until at least June, if that.

Mercedes-AMG F1 team is still winning :notworthy:
London (CNN Business)Formula One engine manufacturer Mercedes has teamed up with clinicians and university engineers in London to design a breathing aid for coronavirus patients that can be quickly mass produced, a development that could help reduce the need for ventilators.

The Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) device, which was re-engineered from an existing machine in fewer than 100 hours, has been recommended for use by the UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency, according to a statement from University College London (UCL), which worked on the project.

He’s no longer a racecar driver, then

Well maybe on dirt tracks in Alabama but not with sponsors higher than Bubba’s Grease Pit

The irony is that he was fast-tracked through the NASCAR ranks under their Drive for Diversify initiative.

Is that the same initiative that brought us Danica Patrick? :?

I havent followed NASCAR since Richard Petty was a younger man so you’ll have to help me out here

What diversity boxes does a guy named Kyle Larson check?

He’s a fudgepacker?

If it was Bubba Wallace (1/2 black), he'd get a pass with an apology. But I think Larson would only be allowed to use nip, chink, or cracker.

It MIGHT not be career ending, as he has a few mitigating factors:
-He didn't know he was on the air.
-He was talking to his white spotter.
-Him being 1/2 Japanese.
https://ftw.usatoday.com/2020/04/kyle-l ... -suspended

I could see him losing his sponsors & Gnassi ride (he's in the last yr of his current Gnassi contract), and being relegated to a crap Cup team for a couple seasons like Kurt Busch was after a was let go by Penske due to anger management issues, topped off by a late 2011 profanity laced, obscene gestures on air tirade, or like AJ Allmendinger was after pissing hot in 2012. Then being deemed rehabilitated/punished enough, and getting another chance with a major team in 2022 or 2023. We'll see.
