Formula One 2021.

So the new season will start in March and Australia was planned as usual to be the opening track. Now it looks set to be cancelled. (March 21st)

I have heard via someone who lives in Australia that although Covid related, nothing to do with that per se. More due to the fact, they are not prepared to run it without spectators. It's a street circuit and they make millions from the fans and ticket prices.

I'm inclined to agree with that. The Covid Bubble teams have put in place seemed to work well, 3 drivers out of 20 catching a mild dose and 3 team staff...

It means that the Bahrain Grand Prix scheduled for 28 March now looks poised to become the 2021 season opener.

Haas present the livery for their car for 2021. Livery only as the car is unfinished!!

Probably the most uninspiring livery to date!!

I'm a mechanic, don't mind giving them a hand...

You'll have to work fast @jonsie. They haven't even fired the car up yet....

I don't like it at all. An American car with a Russian livery? No thanks.

One way of getting round the Russian flag being banned. Just paint it on your car.

The 23 race calendar for 2021 is now complete. Portugal has filled the missing spot for the 3rd race

I'm glad SIlverstone always stays in July.

I see Marzipan has been grovelling to the world for his behaviour.
