There’s another gimmick, a boost for the car that does the longest jump on the first lap ;-)
Could be fun with the decision of driver order, so we’ll see pro drivers hunting down the am drivers on the second lap.
set up from GT, so this could be a nice combination of all those, and some stunning scenery. I didn’t tire of endless slow motion shots of desert racing following the Dakar this year, expecting more of that in the opening round.
I get that F1 is super enviro-unfriendly, but at no point did the whole "how exactly is this new global race series sustainable" question come up. Seems like a lot of greenwash for boys-and-their-toys stuff to me.
Can't imagine that there's serious $$$$ in it, anyway.

De Niro and Boyega to star in Netflix F1 film The Formula | F1 News | Autosport
Crime film involving F1 drivers and the Mafia - sounds utterly ridiculous, but there's plenty of talent signed on to participate, so maybe the concept/screenplay isn't horrific as it sounds on the surface?!
I think he’ll do very well in sports cars over the next few years.
History repeating itself?
So far looks like a one year plus an extension for Hamilton :
Wolff: Hamilton will sign "soon" - but not a 3-year contract
Hamilton does not get a three-year contract
Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton is unlikely to sign a three-year contract with Mercedes. "I don't think so," said Mercedes Motorsport Director Toto Wolff in an exclusive interview with RTL / ntv. Because of the budget cap that has been in force since this year and the new F1 rules from 2022, the team has to "keep your eyes open", according to the Austrian.
However, Hamilton will "soon" sign a new working paper and also drive for the Silver Arrows in 2021, assured Wolff. In the end, there must be a "sensible agreement and we are not far from it". Wolff explains in the video what makes the negotiations so complicated.
Relationship with Hamilton not damaged
Soon it will be a "flexible term", said Wolff with a smile. The contract will be "dry" by the first test drives in Bahrain in mid-March at the latest.
The Mercedes team boss contradicted rumors that his relationship with Hamilton had suffered from the contract poker. "Our relationship is not only professional, but also a friendship. Lewis is incredibly important, not only for our team, but also for the Mercedes brand." But, according to Wolff: "The landscape is currently changing."
Does Mercedes have to make compromises?
Hamilton and Mercedes have been negotiating a new contract for months. Points of contention should be Hamilton's salary (previously around 40 million euros a year) and the 36-year-old's demand for financial stakes in the Mercedes team.
According to media reports, there was also a crunch between the poker parties in terms of contract duration. Accordingly, Mercedes was not ready to fulfill Hamilton's request for a new three-year contract - and has thus prevailed, according to Wolff. The question is whether Mercedes has to make compromises elsewhere, and if so: which ones?
Hamilton chases the eight
Hamilton can win his eighth world title this year. He would overtake Michael Schumacher and would be the sole record world champion. Last season, Hamilton had set the record for the now 52-year-old.
Hamilton celebrated six of his seven World Cup triumphs in a Mercedes, and when he won his first World Cup in 2008, his McLaren was powered by at least one Mercedes engine
