Formula One has announced it’s updated calendar for the 2021 season. Sakhir Grand Prix in Bahrain will be the season opener, whereas the Australian GP has been postponed to a later date in November. The ongoing pandemic has made the organizers change their schedule owing to the travel and quarantine restrictions.
The season will commence a week later than scheduled, on March 26-28 and end on a new date of 10-12 December. As a result of the postponement, race dates in Brazil, Saudi Arabia and Abu Dhabi have all been delayed.
