Yamamoto was interviewed by Fuji TV on April 10th - https://members.f1-life.net/regular/92973/

Sakura wasn't shut down and engine development was proceeding as planned.

Factories with small numbers of people tend to stay open because they can follow mitigation measures in a very controlled way. The F1 engine test and development is likely on the key persons are needed in any one location.

Could be an upper hand here as Honda are in Japan which is nowhere near as affected by the pandemic as Europe is, so laws related to shutdowns and working staff will be vastly different.

Sakura wasn't shut down and engine development was proceeding as planned.

The engine factories were closed two weeks later than the team factories. From April 13.

FIA keeps doors closed for F1 teams longer: "summer break" goes from 5 to 9 weeks

The current 5-week period was also longer than the regular "summer break" of 3 weeks, and was extended in early April. This now adds another 4 weeks, bringing the shutdown of the factories to a total of 9 weeks, or 63 consecutive days.

Engine factories also closed

Besides the fact that the teams have to keep the doors closed longer, this also applies to the engine manufacturers (Ferrari, Renault, Mercedes and Honda). For them, the mandatory work stoppage goes from 35 to 49 consecutive days, the FIA ​​reports.

If they worked after the FIA mandated they stop work, then they're possibly in for a big problem. Wouldn't look good if the Honda-powered teams had their points taken away for "cheating" now, would it?

The teams have a mandatory summer break lockdown. Suppliers don’t.

The actual new gp calendar is not in favour of Redbull. Could be one more boring titles win for Merco. Hope not

Max has won the last two races in Austria and has won in both Spain and Germany, come second in Abu Dhabi and Hungary (which he perhaps should have won but for a strategy call gamble from Mercedes (and a subsequent great drive by Hamilton to make the call pay off)). That's hardly condemning the proposed season to failure, is it? If the car is as good as testing suggested, they're in with a good shout this season.

[Wouter]

17 May 2020 Max Verstappen and Helmut Marko represented Aston Martin Red Bull Racing during a broadcast of Sport am Sonntag, an Austrian sport talkshow on ORF. Max talked about how he is keeping busy whilst the Formula 1 season is postponed.

“I love to drive races and hopefully I can jump in the car soon. I also like the track [Red Bull Ring] ; it’s our home race and that’s a big motivation. As a team we’ve had a good car and strategy the last couple of years. And if we can make it all work, we can maybe win the race again.”

2020 is Max’ final chance to become the youngest world champion in the history of Formula 1. “It would be amazing and special to achieve that, but I want to win always, every race, every year. The car worked well during the winter tests in Barcelona, but we’ll have to wait and see. The team is motivated and wants to challenge for the title. I’m confident that we have a good package, together with Honda.”

The engine they brought to Aus was already a step up from testing.

Good to hear, was it the planned spec 2 or a sort of spec 1.1?

[godlameroso]

Spec 2 won't be ready for a few months.

[Pany]

You are right. But without Monaco, Singapore, Baku maybe
redbul would loose easy points. At contrary two times Silverstone, Monza and china confirmation will give easy points to mercedes. Consider Ferrari probably will not take them. I support redbul, and these are the facts. Let see with hope for a genuine championship.

A few months? Oh boy. Wouldnt the original spec 2 have had to debut around Azerbaijan on june 7th? Or has the original spec 3 been renamed to spec 2?
