Formula 1 takes its second step into the unknown in 2020 this weekend. From double headers being brand new, we also head to the first of three circuits this year F1 has never raced on, the long-awaited Mugello circuit. Host of the Italian Motorcycle Grand Prix, the circuit certainly knows how to put on a show, and it's inclusion has been universally lauded as all the drivers and pundits are excited about seeing the cars here. The circuit is likely to be a bit like Suzuka without the slow corners, with Paul Di Resta predicting that a qualifying lap won't ever dip below 4th gear. The race is a celebration as it coincides with Ferrari's 1000th Formula One championship Grand Prix. I was going to say "will it be better than their last few", but nothing could be worse than Spa and Monza. This circuit which is all corners should play to Ferrari's strengths hide Ferrari's weaknesses a bit better so it shouldn't be as painful. Spectators are finally returning to an F1 race, with a limited number of fans allowed into Grandstands. Will the racing be good? Will be care after watching the stonking Pole lap? This is likely to be the only time we see F1 cars racing around Mugello, so let's enjoy the TUSCAN GRAND PRIX!
