Draft 2020 Formula 1 calendar announced

Squeezing a record twenty-two events into a season that’ll run from March to the end of November inevitably creates a very busy Formula 1 schedule. Indeed, the provisional 2020 timetable features seven pairs of races which are going to take place on consecutive weekends.

There are three major changes compared to 2019: Germany has been dropped, Vietnam joins the championship and, after a thirty-five year absence, the Dutch Grand Prix returns.

In addition, Azerbaijan is being pushed back from April to early June, plus the United States and Mexico swap places (again). Otherwise, everything else looks familiar, including the customary summer break between Hungary and Belgium.

Alfa MiTo TwinAir arrives

The Alfa Romeo MiTo supermini is now available with the innovative two-cylinder TwinAir petrol engine.

Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle.
