F1 announce revised 2021 calendar
F1 has announced a revised calendar of 22 races this year due to restrictions caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
CEO Stefano Domenicali had long planned for 23 grands prix but has been forced to trim that number by one, which still serves as a record-breaking number.
The second half of the calendar is now as follows:
September 03-05: Dutch Grand Prix
September 10-12: Italian Grand Prix
September 24-26: Russian Grand Prix
October 08-10: Turkish Grand Prix
October 22-24: United States Grand Prix
November 05-07: Mexican Grand Prix
November 12-14: Brazilian Grand Prix
November 19-21: TBC
December 03-05: Saudi Arabian Grand Prix
December 10-12: Abu Dhabi Grand Prix
Domenicali said: “We are very pleased to announce the updates to the 2021 calendar following extensive discussions with the promoters and national authorities.
"The pandemic continues to present the season with challenges but we have proven we can adapt and we are confident we can deliver a record-breaking 22 races this year despite a global pandemic.
“I want to thank the promoters in Brazil, Mexico and Turkey for their patience and flexibility and we will provide the details of the final addition soon.
"This season is proving to be an incredible battle on the track and this is hugely exciting for our fans around the world and we look forward to the intensity continuing in the races ahead.”
In detail, Russia now serves as a standalone event, whereas initially, it was due to kickstart another triple-header.
Turkey also has a lone date due to that country being on the UK's red list and arrivals back into the UK needing to quarantine in a hotel for 10 days.
There is now the potential for team staff to fly directly from Turkey into the US ahead of the grand prix in Austin, which also is a standalone race.
Given the nature of the Covid situation in Mexico and Brazil, neither of those races can be guaranteed at this stage.
The TBC is expected to be Qatar, with negotiations still ongoing, and will again aid those who have attended Brazil as that country is also on the UK's red list.
