Formula 1: Heineken Grande Prémio De Portugal 2020

IT’S RACE WEEKEND!!! Finally.

This Sunday’s race is at the Autódromo Internacional do Algarve in Portimão, Portugal.

This is the first time that the track is hosting a Formula 1 race, much like the Mugello track.

Key Features of the Track:
:green_circle: A gold mine of s :b: inalla memes
:red_circle: According to Redbull driver Alex Albon, the swooping up-and-down terrain of the track makes it feel “like you’re on a rollercoaster
:yellow_circle: The lack of grip on the track is bound to make things exciting this weekend

Can’t wait to see what this weekend holds for us!

The Portugal GP is off to a fabulous and rather surprising start, with McLaren’s Carlos Sainz taking the lead :open_mouth::open_mouth::open_mouth:

Moreover, it has started drizzling at the circuit, which coupled with the undulating terrain of the track, is making for a very exciting race indeed.

Additionally, an incident occurred between Perez and Verstappen within the first 10 seconds of the race, sending Perez careening off the track and briefly bringing out the Yellow flag.
