While the Dutch Zandvoort is a famous track and present in other racing games. The Vietnam city track in Hanoi is a total newcomer with no available information. From bumps to barriers and traction levels, Codemasters would need to make it from scratch. Race information would have helped a lot but now they have none.

That lack of information will likewise affect the team performance in F1 2020. As there is just the Winter Testing information to utilize. With Formula 1 itself on hold until at least June, Codemasters would like to see a few races before they can set team performance properly and get the game out.
