POLL: Should F1 merge 2020 and 2021 into a super season?

Formula 1 chiefs are frantically attempting to start the 2020 season amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic which has caused major disruption to the championship’s schedule.

The opening seven rounds in Australia, Bahrain, China, Vietnam, the Netherlands, Spain and Monaco have already been either postponed or cancelled (in Monaco’s case), meaning the season will not start before June 7 with the Azerbaijan Grand Prix at the earliest.

POLL: Should F1 merge 2020 and 2021 into a super season?

Formula 1 chiefs are frantically attempting to start the 2020 season amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic which has caused major disruption to the championship’s schedule.

The opening seven rounds in Australia, Bahrain, China, Vietnam, the Netherlands, Spain and Monaco have already been either postponed or cancelled (in Monaco’s case), meaning the season will not start before June 7 with the Azerbaijan Grand Prix at the earliest.

But as the coronavirus crisis continues to worsen on a global scale, further disruption to the current 2020 schedule seems inevitable.

FEATURE: Could COVID-19 force F1 into a 2020-2021 super season? 

Rather than trying to cram in 17-18 races between August and Christmas, F1 could merge its two campaigns together to create a super season - much like Formula E adopts.

This door has been potentially opened after F1 teams agreed to delay the 2021 technical regulation overhaul by a year until 2022, meaning the chassis used this year will be carried over into the next campaign.

Not only could this potentially alleviate some of the financial impact on teams but it would undoubtedly remove strain that naturally comes with the demanding workloads for the travelling F1 personnel.

Discussions will continue between F1 chiefs and the teams in the coming days and weeks on how best to combat the issue of coronavirus and save the 2020 season.

Could this be a solution to the problem?

In your opinion, should F1 merge the 2020 and 2021 seasons together into one super season?
