PARIS — Formula One CEO Chase Carey apologized to fans Tuesday after the season-opening Australian Grand Prix and other early races this season were canceled because of the coronavirus outbreak.Amid chaotic scenes in Melbourne on Friday, fans were waiting at the gates to watch the first two practice sessions of the race when the late decision was made to finally postpone it. By that point, even with thousands of fans outside, teams were packing up inside the paddock.“We apologize to those fans affected by the cancellation in Australia, as well as the postponement of the other races to date,” Carey wrote in an open letter to fans on the F1 website. “We also want to extend our thoughts to those already affected, including those in the Formula 1 family.”The late decision to cancel the race hastened after McLaren withdrew because a team member tested positive for the COVID-19 illness. Even before the cancellation, Mercedes sent a letter to the FIA and F1 requesting it be called off and had commenced preparations to leave.The Bahrain and Vietnam Grand Prix races quickly were postponed. Bahrain was scheduled to begin on Friday – at an empty track – and the inaugural Vietnamese GP in Hanoi on April 5.On Monday, tire provider Pirelli said one of its staff tested positive for the virus and was undergoing treatment in Melbourne. McLaren said the employee who tested positive “is recovering well and the symptoms have gone.”For most people, the virus causes only mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough.
For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia. The vast majority of people recover.With the Chinese GP on April 17 already canceled in February, the first four races are off.The season could start in the Netherlands, at the Zandvoort track outside Amsterdam, on May 3, or later in May at either the Spanish GP on May 10 the Monaco GP on May 24.F1 can gain back some time by scrapping its traditional midseason break, which lasts for four weeks.“We recognize everyone wants to know what comes next for Formula 1 in 2020. We cannot provide specific answers today given the fluidity of the situation,” Carey said. “However, we plan to get the 2020 Championship season underway as soon as it’s safe to do so. We are engaging with experts and officials on a daily basis.”. During the current work stoppage due to coronavirus, Antron Brown typically spends up to two hours a day working out to stay fit for his day job.So when the pandemic subsides, Brown can go back to a regular work day, which typically lasts between 7 1/2 to 15 seconds in total.That is not a misprint.If he gets to the final round in a NHRA national event, Brown will typically make four runs in the 3.75-second range each time.
Excel IF AND OR functions on their own aren’t very exciting, but mix them up with the IF Statement and you’ve got yourself a formula that’s much more powerful. In this tutorial we’re going to take a look at the basics of the AND and OR functions and then put them to work with an IF Statement.
Do the math: each time Brown goes to work, he typically travels about 330 mph at around 3.75 seconds on a 1,000-foot drag strip. With four rounds of final eliminations. That’s a maximum 15-second work day.And there’s no chance for overtime. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, Antron Brown would typically take numerous 3.75-second Sunday drives.

A three-time Top Fuel champion, Brown may currently be sidelined from competition like so many others due to the pandemic, but he is far from idle.“I’m staying active in the race world, so to speak, not just from a social media standpoint but also developing and doing other things to keep my mind in line on what we’re going to do (when drag racing restarts) because when we get back, it’s going to be a crammed season,” Brown told NBC Sports. “We’re going to do a lot of back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back races.“The NHRA has a game plan if we start in June, July or even in August. We’re going to race something this year and the later (the sport resumes) goes, the more you have to be in shape and in line.”The 44-year-old Brown’s daily physical regimen includes biking, jogging and full-speed running, jumping jacks, weight lifting and more.His three kids are also giving him a different kind of workout, Brown said with a laugh.“I’m enjoying the time my kids and family,” he said. “I’ve never been home this much to be engaged with them like this every day. I feel like I’m Mike Brady (the father) of the Brady Bunch. It’s like my station wagon is parked in the garage and I’m home all the time.“I’m cooking lunch for the kids, washing dishes in hot water in the sink rather than using the dishwasher and I’m wiping down counter tops 50 times a day.
I feel like a housekeeper.“I’m even cutting my own grass. Before, I used to have a landscaper cutting the grass, but then I said, ‘Hey, I’ve got this.’ If I can save a buck here and there, I don’t need to spend money if I’m home and can do it myself.”Brown also has plenty of chores and projects to work on. One of his biggest currently is redoing his drag racing simulator so that it is a virtual duplicate of the cockpit in his real-life Top Fuel dragster.” Antron Brown’s plans to become a team owner next year were embraced by his current team owner, Don Schumacher. (Getty Images)The other significant project Brown is working on is preparing to transition from driving for Don Schumacher Racing, which he has done since 2009, to owning his own team. That team would still be affiliated with DSR, but Brown would be the man paying the bills and controlling his own longterm destiny.“(The coronavirus) impacts everything we’re doing, but it makes you do different things and go different routes,” Brown said. “My plan was to (start his team) by the end of this year, to take it over.“That’s still my main focus, but at the end of the day it depends on what partnerships you have. If you have no partnerships, you have no team.
All my partners remain strong, but my main focus right now is literally getting back to racing and helping the partners I’m a part of recover from this.“It’s not going to be like a switch that goes on and everything is going to be okay. It’s how they’re going to get back to where they were and start growing again. Once we get back on that path, I can go back on my path and continue what I was doing, building the new race team and pulling the switch on it.“Honestly, I think (building his team is) going to have a little delay for it, but my plan is still for 2021 to make that switch.“These are tragic times, but at the same time, through all this stuff you can let it break you or you can look for the opportunity that’s out there.
And there’s plenty of opportunity out there actually to figure out how to move forward and then actually go forward.”Instead of burning up the dragstrip, Brown also spends a lot of time almost every day burning up the phone lines with fellow sidelined competitors such as two-time defending Top Fuel champion Steve Torrence, Shawn Langdon, J.R. Todd and Pro Stock Motorcycle champs Angelle Sampey and Andrew Hines (Brown was a former PSM rider before he switched to Top Fuel in 2008) as well as several of the top officials in NHRA.“We lean on one another to help everyone grow and to support each other,” Brown said. “The thing is you always have to keep moving. Antron Brown believes in staying in top shape so he’s at the top of his game on drag strips from California to New Hampshire.

It’s like my kids, there’s more to do than just sit on your computer or phone and play games.
The tutorial explains how to multiply in Excel by using the multiplication symbol and functions, how to create a formula for multiplying cells, ranges or entire columns, how to multiply and sum, and more.While there is no universal multiplication formula in Excel, there exist a few different ways to multiply numbers and cells. The below examples will teach you how to write a formula best suited for your specific task.Multiply in Excel by using multiplication operatorThe easiest way to do multiplication in Excel is by using the multiply symbol (.). With this approach, you can quickly multiply numbers, cells, entire columns and rows.
How to multiply numbers in ExcelTo make the simplest multiplication formula in Excel, type the equals sign (=) in a cell, then type the first number you want to multiply, followed by an asterisk, followed by the second number, and hit the Enter key to calculate the formula.For example, to multiply 2 by 5, you type this expression in a cell (with no spaces): =2.5As shown in the screenshot below, Excel allow performing different arithmetic operations within one formula. Just remember about the (PEMDAS): parentheses, exponentiation, multiplication or division whichever comes first, addition or subtraction whichever comes first.How to multiply cells in ExcelTo multiply two cells in Excel, use a multiplication formula like in the above example, but supply cell references instead of numbers. For example, to multiply the value in cell A2 by the value in B2, type this expression:=A2.B2To multiply multiple cells, include more cell references in the formula, separated by the multiplication sign. For example:=A2.B2.C2How to multiply columns in ExcelTo multiply two columns in Excel, write the multiplication formula for the topmost cell, for example:=A2.B2After you've put the formula in the first cell (C2 in this example), double-click the small green square in the lower-right corner of the cell to copy the formula down the column, up to the last cell with data:Due to the use of (without the $ sign), our Excel multiply formula will adjust properly for each row:In my opinion, this is the best but not the only way to multiply one column by another. You can learn other approaches in this tutorial:. How to multiply rows in ExcelMultiplying rows in Excel is a less common task, but there is a simple solution for it too.
Hi Doug,Thanks for the quick response! What you said here was in the right direction:'=Product(D3:D13,F2)This says get the product of the range D3 to D13 and multiply it by the number in F2.'
Rather than the product of the range D3 to D13, I'm trying to figure out how to get the sum of the range D3 to D13 and multiply it by the number in F2.For some context, F2 is the quantity of units, and D3:D13 are values representing profit amounts. The easy way would be to add a cell somewhere, take A2 for example, that is =SUM(D3:D13) and then doing =PRODUCT (A2,F2) but I'm trying to figure out how I can skip a step.Thanks!
Price table a b c 1 ITEM 17-18 18-19. Hi all,I am looking for a bit of advice. I have created a spreadsheet to calculate the total cost of an order, comparing 3 different companies prices.I have a drop down menu to select the type of equipment that we require and have added a sumif formula to automatically input the singular unit value of the selected equipment into the adjacent column. I also have a quantity column, I would like to be able to select the equipment type in the drop down box and have a formula to automatically multiply the unit cost by the quantity and input that value into the cell in place of the singular unit cost.For example, I would like to order 5 packs of large gloves. I would select the large gloves in the drop down menu which would automatically input the unit value for 1 pack of gloves via the sumif formula into the next cell.
I would then enter the quantity as '5' into the quantity column and I would like the formula to multiply the singular unit cost by 5 and automatically enter the total in place of the singular unitDoes anyone know how I can do this?I hope this makes sense, I am happy to further explain if necessary. I am trying to figure out how to allocate travel cost of a worker according to the amount of time in a day they have spent in each category. Example:Jack has 3 hours travel @ $50/hr. He has a total of 9 hours worked that day.
2 hours he spent on sales, 1 hour on administration and 2 hours on documentation. I want a formula that will multiple the travel time by his rate, turn the travel time into a percentage and be able to allocate his hours across the categories dependent on how many hours he worked in each category. I believe I first need to turn travel time into a percentage of the total hours that day and then multiple that percentage by the number of hours in each category, then multiple that number by rate. Wanted to have a formula so that I can do this daily for multiple workers.
