Formula One 2020 by Bruce Jones
I thought today will be different, as I wanted to share my review for Formula One 2020 by Bruce Jones* on the same day as the new F1 season starts. When I started reading this book, I did not imagine the first few races will be cancelled. So, if now you are missing F1, this book might be just the thing you need right now. I liked the book a lot and my husband read it too and he said he is giving it 5 stars as well.
The Formula One 2020 by Bruce Jones book is a good resource if you want to follow the F1 season. Each team has two pages with a bit of its history and how many points their drivers got in 2019. After each team, the two drivers that race for that specific team are presented. It is a short, 1-page, presentation, but very interesting, as it looks at their career before F1 too. If you are watching Formula E it should be very interesting, as some of the drivers mentioned in those presentations are now racing in the all-electric formula.
Next are the tracks, a map of each circuit, with the name of the corners and relevant statistics. It is very interesting to see them and I will look again at those, before each race. Furthermore, there is a review of the 2019 season with race-by-race reports and statistics, highlights. I will read those before the race too, to remind myself of what happened in the previous year.
I just hope the pandemic will be dealt with soon and that the new F1 season will start.

*I was sent this book for the purpose of this review. All opinions are my own.
I’m thinking F1 much be more popular in Europe than over here. You’re not my only blogging friend from the UK that loves it. I know NASCAR is popular here, but even that fails to interest me. As far as something circling a track, my husband enjoys horse racing.

You are right, F1 is popular in Europe, where it has a very long history. I’m not keen on NASCAR, despite loving motorsports. I think you’d enjoy Formula E though (all electric). Give it a try, when it comes back, as this too is suspended due to coronavirus, it’s only 45 min+1 lap, that means less than 50 minutes in total. You might discover that is very interesting and exciting.
