While the authorities of the Formula 1 They haven’t announced the postponement of the start of the 2021 season yet, they did. Lawrence Stroll, owner of the now team called Aston Martin (ex Racing Point) and father of the pilot Lance. The Canadian confirmed what was already a great suspicion: ehe Australian Grand Prix, to be held on 3/21, will not be run on that date.
Stroll, in what could have been a failed announcement, explained that Oceania will host the category and not like in 2020, which was canceled. They are looking for a date to reschedule it within a calendar that will be tight, although not as tight as in the past. In this way, the start will be the following week, the 28th, in Bahrain, home of one of the last races of 2020.

This is not the only novelty with respect to the Maxima calendar, which could also be without the Chinese GP, also absent in the 2020 campaign. The appointment in Asia should take place on April 11 in Shanghai, just two weeks before the only GP that has no headquarters.
The authorities manage a plan B in case the competition does not take place in eastern lands. The arrival in Europe could be early and those two dates would be occupied by Portimao, in Portugal, and Imola, in Italy. It is worth noting that these were circuits in the last championship by Lewis Hamilton, with which he tied the seven crowns of the German Michael sSchumacher.
