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.

Oh no...awful news before season starts. Get well soon Fernando.

According to this BBC report, it's a suspected fractured jaw. He has been flown to a specialist unit in Berne Switzerland. If it's bad fracture it will probably need wiring. That usually takes a total of 6 weeks.

IF it is that bad, I doubt we will see him in the car for the opening race in Bahrain.

Track n Trace would’ve been much better

They could have made a better photshop than that, surely

I watched the release video last night @Anonymous. Danny Ricc said quite sincerely, that he thinks his best chance of winning a WDC is with McLaren. Mmmmmm

If you click on the link @jonsie , it shows the car as it is.

The photoshop is what someone from the F1 forum I belong to, did to show the difference (not much)

Here's another one...they are trying to prove as it's got a Merc engine, it looks like a Merc W11

Alpha Tauri have released their car for 2021
