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.

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

Obviously the son of a Russian Oligarch thinks he can get away with anything! I won't forget the way he punched Callum Illot in F2.

Before he starts he is the most disliked driver on the grid.

F1 testing begins on March 12th and will be on Sky F1.

Annoyingly, as it's in Bahrain, it starts at 6.30am in the UK. Great

We have to wait until the 10th March to see Ferrari. (as if it's the special one!)

We know one thing for sure. It will be red...

It may as well be LEMON coloured for what use it has been these last few years!

Let's hope there is no attempt at cheating going on!

Apparently WADA (World Anti Doping Agency) are looking into the Haas livery even though it was approved by the FIA.
