Formula One Portuguese Grand Prix 2020 What to Watch
Following his regrettable retirement at the Nurburgring, Lewis Hamilton will be starting the race with a comfortable 69-point lead over Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas.
Hamilton tied the previous record holder, Michael Schumacher, with his 91st victory in Germany. If the British driver can outpace his competitors on Sunday afternoon, he will have the chance to pass Schumacher.
With only six races left on the rearranged 2020 schedule, Bottas and Max Verstappen are too far behind the leader of the championship to avoid a seventh world championship.
Lance Stroll appears to be returning to the racetrack after it was disclosed that he had tested positive for COVID-19 and missed the Eifel GP. The driver is anticipated to be on standby again in Portugal after stepping in at the last minute and making an impression the previous time out.
As the final six race weekends approach, Haas gets ready to bid farewell to Kevin Magnussen and Romain Grosjean, who have been paired with the team since 2017 and are expected to leave at the end of the season.
Though there have been Formula 1 cars on the track for pre-season testing in 2009, Portimao has surprisingly never held a Formula 1 race in its history.
For the most part, Portimao will be a new test for the teams and a step into the unknown because drivers will need to maximize practice sessions in order to collect useful data and get insight into the demands of the track.
The last time Portugal held a race was when Estoril was included in the 1984–96 season schedule. Alain Prost and Nigel Mansell, who each have a hat-trick of track victories, were the previous victors.
Although Friday and Saturday in Portimao are predicted to be dry and warm, there is a hint of possible rain on Sunday, much like in a few of the past races.
Following the implementation of COVID-19 government limitations last week, the Portuguese Grand Prix is now limited to 27,500 spectators per day.
