Formula 1 and MotoGP returns for 2021 season

106 Formula 1 and MotoGP returns for 2021 season

Formula 1 is back for a 23 race season, starting today with Bahrain Grand Prix free practice and continuing throughout summer, fall and early winter.

This will be first season fully planned to comply with various covid restrictions and we will not see same track used for two consecutive weekends like we did last year, when there was real danger of not being able to host races in multiple jurisdictions due to proliferating lockdowns.

2021 season will also feature brand new Grand Prix location - Saudi Arabia. It will be first for the kingdom to host a Formula 1 race and it will be first for the Formula 1 cars to race on a brand new street circuit in Jeddah - city I know about only because of the ambitious Kingdom Tower project - worlds tallest skyscraper currently under construction.

MotoGP season 2021 will also start this week, with first two races over two consecutive weekends held at Losail International Circuit in Qatar.

Both Formula 1 and MotoGP will not have significant regulation changes this year compared to last. Notable change in Formula 1 is McLaren returning to Mercedes engines.

What a magnificient season!
Congratulations to Max, finally he was able to fulfill his dream and become champion!
Verstappen showed more mature piloting this year, almost no mistakes, while keeping his usual aggressiveness and pressing.
Lewis is a very rational and clever pilot, he was quite confident in leading the race to victory. And if not for the Latifi crash, and not the decision of Mercedes to not change the tires, he would have won it. Max certainly lucked out in this respect, but Hamilton was luckier throughout the whole season.
At least next year we will see a motivated Hamilton.

Another outcome of the season is that the FIA rules and judging need significant improvement.
