The Australian Grand Prix was set to be the first round of the season, on March 21st, with strict rules on international arrivals in Australia because of Covid-19 restrictions is now moved to November 21th for the twenty-first round of the season. Means the Bahrain Grand Prix will be the first race of the season on March 28th.
While the Chinese Grand Prix was set to be the third round of the season, on April 11th, just like Australia with strict rules on international arrivals in China because of Covid-19 restrictions is now postponed with no date has been outlined (could be round the end of the season if lucky).
Coronavirus, officially named Covid-19, that has killed nearly 2,000,000 people, with over 91,000,000, cases reported.
Meanwhile, this was also confirmed, Formula 1 has added two more races to its 2021 calendar taking the total number of races confirmed so far to 24. Imola in Italy will host a Grand Prix once again for the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix on April 18th for the second round of the season. While Autódromo Internacional do Algarve, Portimão on the Algarve, will set (not yet confirmed) to follow on May 2nd as the Portuguese Grand Prix for the third round of the season.
With two Grand Prixs postponed and a Grand Prix added in, this F1 calendar will change during the first half of 2021 (even up-to August).
All I can say is stay safe everyone.
