It is pretty obvious that they spent December working on plans for 2021 with an Easter (or thereabouts) start, and now they need more time to rework those plans. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So are you saying COVID spreads when social distancing, and doesn’t when you mix. It was predicted in their the figures would jump up over the Xmas period on the uk, and they have. The opening round of F1 is in Aussie 3rd week in March, Melbourne, and they considering cancelling it. Perhaps Hamilton and co should take up tennis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Social distance at 2 meters well I don't think it works !! As I've heard of a number of people people some freinds & some on radio stations who have never been out the house but have still caught it so it's definitely AIR born & if your unlucky enough to catch it lets hope it's not the bad strain ? Let's hope everyone is safe & the speedway season starts in may as if it is to be June or July it could be another write off for the 2nd year in a row fir some riders & clubs & alsi the FANS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OveFundinFan 4,143 Posted January 7, 2021 Justgotmecpc, but COVID isn’t just spread by airborne, there is touch problems as well. So if someone stays locked down at home, COVID could come into the home via deliveries of food or other things. That’s why after one of us has been shopping, or receiving mail through the post etc we wash hands. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
