Brazil is expected to be moved to a new circuit at Rio De Janiro which is why that race is not on yet. See the circuit here

However little work has taken part so we might be at Sao another year,


The same goes for the proposed race in Miami.

Just to get one up on @quasa and create the thread first. :tongue:

This will be the thread to (when it starts) discuss the 2021 Formula One season as well as all things that have engines and go Vroom!

We do not have a calendar yet, but the following races are under contracy to run in 2021

Abu Dhabi Grand Prix

Austrian Grand Prix

Azerbaijan Grand Prix

Bahrain Grand Prix

Belgian Grand Prix

British Grand Prix

Canadian Grand Prix

Dutch Grand Prix

French Grand Prix

Hungarian Grand Prix

Italian Grand Prix

Japanese Grand Prix

Mexican Grand Prix

Monaco Grand Prix

Russian Grand Prix

Singapore Grand Prix

United States Grand Prix

Vietnamese Grand Prix


As expected the double headers (70th anniversty and Styrian) will not be run again (ALrhough Austria doesn't have a contract at all). Neither do Brazil, China and Spain. The one offs this year (Nurburg, Turkey, Portugal, Imola and Mugello and Skahir will not be run again in all lieklihood)

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.






well played :lol:
Although the big rule chnages will take place in 2022, some rules will be changed for 2021. These are as follows:

Financial Regulation:

A budget cap will be introdued at $145m for 21 races, this will increase by $1m for each race over and above 21. Likewise if a race is removed the cap descreses by $1m. Teams are also needing to submit annual expendture and use more commericaly available parts. In preperation for this Mclaren had to lay off some staff.

For breaking the rules teams can be deducted points in the champotinship or worse case be kicked out

Technical Regulations:

The FIA will mandate an outer floor chnage to reduce downforce levels and teams are limited to what they can change. Mclaren will have permission to change several components due to the engine supplier change. DAS is banned.

Sporting Regulations:

with pre-season testing reduced opportunities for young drivers has been revised. Teams will be forced to use a young driver for one or two days at the 3 day in season test. Furthermore teams must run a young driver for at least two FP1 sessions throughout the year, a young driver is defined as a driver who has a grade A licence and has done less than 2 F1 world championship races in their career.

Race weekend structure:

All of Thursday's media activies will be moved to Friday morning with time between the Friday sessions being reduced. Cars will enter parc ferme after FP3 rather than qualying.

Current lineup.


Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 team
77: Valterri Bottas
TBC: probably Lewis Hamilton

Red Bull Racing -Honda
33: Max Verstappen
TBC: Alex Albon or Pierre Gasly

Scuderia Ferrari:
16: Charles Leclerc
55: Carlos Sainz

Aston Martin Racing (TBC)
5: Sebastian Vettel
TBC: Lance Stroll (Can't see he has a contract but its a given)

McLaren Mercedes:
3: Daniel Ricciardo
4: Lando Norris

Alpine Renault:
14: Fernando Alonso (number not confirmed)
31: Esteban Ocon

Haas Ferrari:
TBC
TBC

Alfa Romeo Racing (TBC probably Ferrari)
TBC
TBC

Scuderia AlphaTuari Honda
TBC
TBC

Williams Mercedes
6: Nicholas Latifi
63: George Russell


So, Its reasonable to expect Hamilton and Stroll will sign for the teams they are in now. So no movement there.

Red Bull I think is Albon v Gasly, unless they want to take a punt on Perez.

Alfa Romeo is anyones guess. Schumacher looks a shoe-in (im guessing they can't announce until he's done enough for licence points in F2) Raikkonen I think he choses if he stays or goes. Of he wants to stay then itll be him and Mick. If he goes then I think Perez or Hulk will get the seat.

AT will be Gasly and Kvyat or Tsuonda. Vips won't have superlicence points and i don't see the point in keepijng Kvyat

Haas: Who knows. They may get rid of the pair of them and pick up Perez if he doesn't end up at AR and a Ferrari junior. Could see both going, Kmag would be for me thje more likjely one to stay.

So in conclusuion Its all up for grabs, im sure Gio is out though and he'll be in a Ferrari Wec car maybe. Or become a hairdresser.
(Also commenting following this one)

Tbh, I don't get why they want to go to rio. Interlagos is awesome.

Naturally. I wouldn’t be surpsied to see Aus pushed back due to corona restrictions in the state of Victoria. Same for China as well.
Some other rumours.

George Russell’s Seat could be at risk for 2021.

Nikita Mazepin father looks to be in a Haas buyout which places Marzipan at Haas, this ruins Perez’s Haas chance meaning he could end up at Williams in place of George.

https://f1i.com/news/387250-russell-rumoured-to-be-at-risk-amid-mazepin-reports.html

My question here is wouldn’t you chop latifi instead, from what we’ve seen from George him and Russell would be a mighty lineup.

the mazepin to haas is an old rumour. latifi has loads of budget. Perez might end up in mclarens indy team if rumours are to believed, and it isnt guaranteed magnussen will remain (we know grosjean is likely to leave f1 at the end of 2020).
