So, to no one's great surprise, the first and third GPs of the year have been postponed (Australia) and cancelled (China) respectively, and Imola gets another unexpected visit from the F1 circus. I'm sure there'll be plenty more rescheduling to follow.
In WRC, Monte Carlo is hanging by a thread and has already shortened and amended its route to take account of regional 6pm curfews, with some pre-dawn starts in icy conditions that could make things very interesting if a National announcement doesn't put paid to it altogether. Round 2 in Sweden has already been cancelled, but there is hope of a snow rally as the Finns are hoping to run an event out of Rovaniemi on some of the same roads that the famous Arctic rally uses. Later in the calendar, GB has lost its provisional date as Northern Ireland cannot justify the expense of funding it in Covid times. Ypres is fantastic substitute, but it'll feel very strange not having the WRC on these shores for the first time ever.
