The 73rd running of the world championship will also see the addition of a new race in Saudi Arabia on the streets of Jeddah. However no replacement was arranged for Japan’s round, meaning the final calendar was shortened to 22 races. The cancelled race in Australia was eventually replaced by F1’s first race in Qatar. The original calendar also included a race at an undetermined venue which, three weeks before the season was due to begin, was confirmed as the Autodromo do Algarve in Portugal. ![]() However the later cancellation of Singapore’s round of the world championship opened up a new space on the calendar which was taken by Turkey.Īfter the season began in Bahrain the championship raced at Imola in Italy, replacing China. An extra race in Austria was added instead. The Canadian round was originally replaced by a new race in Turkey, but within 16 days F1’s trip to Istanbul had also been called off as the rising Covid-19 infection rate led the British government to impose severe travel restrictions. These also included China, whose race was called off early in the season, Canada, Singapore and Japan – the latter coming despite the Tokyo Olympics going ahead while the country was in a statement of emergency. The Australian round was later cancelled, joining a host of other races beyond F1’s European heartland which were scratched from the schedule. The season began there on March 28th, following three days of testing at the same Bahrain International Circuit. The Australian Grand Prix was delayed until November, and Bahrain became the new opening race. The first of those had to be postponed, however. The double stage in the Middle East on the new track in Jeddah and in Abu Dhabi will bring the curtain down on the 2021 Formula 1 season, the last one before the advent of ground-effect cars.While the 2020 season had been heavily delayed and curtailed, from the outset F1 stated its intention of running a more normal schedule in 2021, albeit with a record-breaking 23 races. If the Canadian stage were to be skipped, the Turkish track in Istanbul is ready to make a comeback and, after last season’s daring race that delivered the seventh world title to Lewis Hamilton, take over for the second consecutive year. With the exception of Canada, which is still on the calendar at this time but at high risk, the paddock should return to both the American continent and Asia. In addition, the appointment in Australia has been postponed due to the substantial changes that the organizers are making to the semi-permanent track in Melbourne. After the confirmation of the cancellation of the Vietnam Grand Prix, which has not yet made its debut, the circus confirms the stages of Portimao and Imola. ![]() In light of the difficulties related to the epidemiological situation from COVID-19, the calendar has undergone significant changes during the winter and, probably, further interventions may be considered necessary.
