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are closed to spectators, sponsors and guests due to restrictions on mass gatherings and the lobster lunches have been replaced by laptop login.

Jean Alesi has explained the crash at the Monaco Historic GP that destroyed Niki Lauda’s 1970s Ferrari.
After not taking place in 2019, the Historic Grand Prix of Monaco was set to return last year but was ultimately cancelled as a result of the global pandemic.
The prestigious event finally went ahead again this year and featured a huge number of famous drivers and cars from Formula 1’s history.
One such driver was Alesi, and he lined up on the grid in the Ferrari 312B3 that Niki Lauda drove for the entirety of 1974, his first year with the Italian team, and for the first two races of his title-winning campaign in 1975.
