After more than a 100 days, the sound of a Formula One engine will be music to the ears of petrolheads around the world. After more than a 100 days, there cannot be an even better sight than that of a Formula One car hurtling past in a blink of an eye.
Yes, after more than a 100 days, Formula One will restart its engines after a season gone haywire, this weekend.
Originally set to begin in March in Melbourne, Australia, the Covid-19 pandemic brought the pinnacle of motorsport, like every other sport around the world, down on its knees.
Following that embarrassing exercise Down Under where the F1 bandwagon tried to go ahead with the season-opener without comprehending the effect of the pandemic, better sense finally prevailed.
After a McLaren employee tested positive and the Woking-based marquee withdrew, F1 bosses and the teams held a meeting and decided to call off the race before a wheel had turned at the street circuit in Albert Park.
And after a lull which has seen races fall off the calendar like ninepins, F1, under former Ferrari mastermind Ross Brawn, has put together an initial calendar of eight races starting with a double-header in Austria.
Eight races confirmed - what next?The Red Bull Ring in Austria's countryside of Spielberg, will host the first of the double headers from Friday as British icon Lewis Hamilton of Mercedes begins his quest to equal Michael Schumacher's record of seven world championship titles.
Formula 1 CEO Chase Carey is hopeful that the next group of races can be announced soon ??#AustrianGP ???? #F1https://t.co/o4rjnkhwVu
