Anyone willing to make predictions about what kind of April Fool's Day news we will get tomorrow?

 

Also this is a place to share the actual ones as they appear.

[boomn]

Audi announcing F1 plans 

[JimmyClark]

F1 team principals parade.

Oh, wait.

[Anderis]

I'll have a go and say there will be news about Vettel retiring with immediate effect.

[Deeq]

There is only one!

F1 returning to N/A V10s in '26. Sigh.

The FIA to award Hamilton "honorary champion" status for 2021.

I'd have a heart attack from happiness if they would announce such a thing. Looking at the utterly disappointing events surrounding the Jeddah race, in particular the fact that F1 are racing there and it's continuation after the missile attack in Jeddah, but also the announcement of Miami and Las Vegas, which aren't anywhere near exciting in my book, I'd even take a return of the V8.

[red stick]

Andretti granted two F1 teams.

[PlatenGlass]

F1 team principals parade.

Oh, wait.

Or a Las Vegas GP making three US races.

[RainyAfterlifeDaylight]

Formula1 go to Saudi Arabian GP for the second time as the Russian GP replacement.

New F1 team called Racing with Eddies. Financed by Eddie Irvine, managed by Eddie Jordan and with 'Eddie the Eagle' Edwards driving. Logo a representation of Eddie the dog from Frasier. Something of a leap of faith.

And they could hire Eddie Izzard as spokesperson and brand manager

Well, if two Eds are better than one, then four . . .
