How about a demo?

I think for F1 2020 its to late to ask but for 2021 and beyond, it would be cool if there would be a demo 2-3 weeks before release with the FOM car 2-3 Tracks etc.

I think most companies have come to realise that a pre-release demo can only really harm potential sales. People only tend to play demos of games they're interested in buying anyway, so if the demo is good the net effect on sales is negligible, while if it's bad, they lose a bunch of customers. (Plus, of course, producing the demo version takes development time away from finishing the game properly.)
