In a month the Formula 1 will finally start again. Lando Norris can't wait to race again and is happy with the calendar that has been put together.

The 2020 season of Formula 1 should have been underway for three months, but it will finally start again in July. The set-up of a race weekend will be quite different and the calendar has also been changed a lot, with two Grands Prix in Austria as the opening.

Lando Norris is happy that the first two races will be held at the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg. "Austria was one of my best results last year, I think even tied for best result with a sixth place. So I'm really looking forward to racing there again," said the young Briton during the F1 Nation podcast.

Action-packed circuits on the schedule

The driver of McLaren is also happy with the rest of the races currently scheduled. "It's full of action: Spa is there, Monza is there, there are a lot of circuits where we can really race and have a lot of fun as drivers, so I think it's a good calendar. It's going to be busy, but it's all circuits that I think we can really enjoy".

The busy schedule is good news for the fans, but it will be a challenge for the teams. "It will be difficult for everyone to have three race weekends in a row, two in Austria and one in Hungary. We have to make sure we are prepared for that and can recover enough after each weekend. It's good that we can race again, but there will also be a lot of challenges," concludes the Briton.
