Formula One s Paddock Club hospitality has gone from vroom to Zoom in the age of COVID-19 and it looks like the virtual version is here to stay with the sport excited by the revenue potential.
The regular Paddock Club is an exclusive and expensive world of champagne, fine dining and corporate networking along with star speakers and some of the best seats in the house for the track action.
The next two races, Portugal this weekend and then Spain, will have none of that.
Circuits are closed to spectators, sponsors and guests due to restrictions on mass gatherings and the lobster lunches have been replaced by laptop login.
