The British Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes), leader of the World Championship with 230 points, can make history, since in case of victory he becomes the most victorious driver in the maximum discipline of motor sport, surpassing the 91 races won by German Michael Schumacher.
The Formula 1 Portuguese Grand Prix is the 12th race of the season and will take place at the Autódromo Internacional do Algarve between now and Sunday, 24 years after the last passage of the “Grande Circo” in Portugal. In Portimão, 27,500 spectators are confirmed, less than initially expected on the recommendation of the General Directorate of Health (DGS).
This weekend Portugal will host a test of the Formula 1 World Championship for the 17th time, benefiting from the revolution at that time caused by the covid-19 pandemic.
The 2020 World Cup should have started on March 15 in Melbourne, Australia, with the first of 22 events scheduled, but the outbreak of the disease caused by the new coronavirus caused the cancellation of the Grand Prix, two days before the race.
Cancellations (13) and postponements of events (five) followed, on several continents, and in April the organization decided to advance the championship, starting in July, with a calendar with 15 to 18 Grands Prix, mostly concentrated in Europe.
