Report:

After having seen a number of non-championship F1 races, the city of Cleveland was pleased to cooperate with Globex Corporation to bring the F1 race on the championship calendar. Cleveland Burke Lakefront Airport hosted the fourth race of the 2020 season.

People hoped for a thrilling event and Formula One certainly delivered. A first-lap incident took out the first two cars on track which demonstrated that we would have a thrilling race. In fact, that would not remain the only incident, with Bradley Dagnall drawing negative attention for a suicide move against Norris as well.

Meanwhile, Salvatore Miccoli and Precision entered a tough battle for the victory. In the end, it was Mercedes who had the edge and looked for a 1-2 finish before Diego Álvarez Torrente joined Artem Markelov on the list of Mercedes-Benz hydrogen fuel cell failures.

Toyota looked really good at this venue and even if James James Davies did not come very far, his teammate Kazuki Nakajima was able to take advantage of the circumstances and secure great track position. Using his awesome motor power to keep his rivals in check, he fought off up to eight cars to take a podium finish.
