Shame to see Istanbul and portimao lose out to The like of Saudi Arabia and Spain

Like with this season though, they may be still used if an event has to be cancelled again i suspect.

I mean let's be honest, what's the likelihood of Australia pulling the plug again?

F1 has achieved their goal of oversaturation finally

Highly likely Aus and Singapore may get cancelled 23 races is overkill and over saturation no race is special or unique now. Far to long of season the US Nascar adaption of F1 awful. Is F1 now outside of Nascar the only motorsport series with so many races in a single year i'm pretty sure it is

Coming to Newcastle soon

Also are they saying fat men are banned from the grand Prix?

[Robbo-92]

Yep, no beer bellies allowed

Weirdly enough, while it states that topless men aren’t allowed it doesn’t say the same under the banned women’s apparel

Yeah I thought that as well. I'm assuming though in Saudi Arabia a women would be shot before getting anywhere near the circuit if she was topless.

On one hand it says no shorts for men (which would be a pain considering it's generally a hot country), but it also says no trousers, does this mean the male punters have to go in their undies?

I think they mean no ripped jeans as in Saudi Arabia their laws state you have to have your legs fully covered.

Formula 1 staff must adhere to dress code in Saudi Arabia

On December 5, the first ever Saudi Arabia Grand Prix will take place at the Jeddah Street Circuit. The fact that the country is hosting a race for the first time in Formula 1 history is not the only thing that makes this race special. The teams have been given extensive clothing regulations, reports Motorsport.com.

Strict Rules
Racing in the Middle East comes with several strict rules that the personnel of the Formula 1 teams and authorities involved have to follow. First of all, there is the dress code. Arms and legs have to be covered at all times.

The staff will therefore have to wear long trousers and shirts up to the elbows during the race weekend. Moreover, transparent materials are not allowed. For women, the shoulders and legs above the knee may not be visible. Women are also advised to wear as little make-up as possible.

In addition to the applicable dress code, there are other rules that must be met. It is advised not to show affection in public or use profane language. These rules apply to everyone who travels to Saudi Arabia, not just F1 personnel.

Can’t wait for the team radios. How many drivers will be in jail by the time Sunday evening is over, Kimi is almost guaranteed.
