Official: Australian and Chinese GPS Postponed, Imola returns

This 2021 calendar is definitely a headache for Liberty Media. Nearly a month after the 23-round campaign was confirmed, Formula 1 bosses unveiled new sketches for next season.

Maintained in 23 innings, the 2021 campaign will open on the Bahrain side. Earlier this year, the first meeting of the Australian Grand Prix was postponed to November. The same is true for China, which is postponed without knowing the exact dates. Discussions are ongoing with the advertiser for re-planning at the end of the season.

The Imola Round, which was reviewed in 2020 after nearly fifteen years of absence, will finally return to the calendar in 2021. The third date is also expected on the Portimio calendar (May 2). The location of the stated date will soon be confirmed by Formula 1.

The Barcelona round is a time of uncertainty, subject to the signing of a new contract with advertisers since the deal was discovered.

No worries for the French Grand Prix. The national meeting was held on June 27.

The outcome of the campaign will not change. After Australia, before the season closes with the traditional Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, the shrine will have to go round the Jetta in Saudi Arabia.
