2020 FIA Formula One World Championship
The 2020 F1 calendar was inevitably impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, but nevertheless featured 17 Grands Prix across little more than six months. It was a season dominated by Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes, the former matching Michael Schumacher’s record seven drivers’ titles, the latter taking a record seventh consecutive championship double. Max Verstappen’s star continued to rise – he won twice for Red Bull and was on the podium at every race he finished bar one – and there were maiden victories for AlphaTauri’s Pierre Gasly and Racing Point’s Sergio Perez.
