This year’s Formula 1 season will have a delayed start after the Australian and Chinese Grands Prix were postponed because of Covid-19 restrictions. The Australian Grand Prix, originally scheduled for 19-21 March, will now take place between November 19-21. A race at Imola in Italy has been added from April 16-18 and becomes the second race of the season. Only 17 of the 22 scheduled F1 races went ahead in 2020 while the 2021 season is due to have a record 23 races. Imola, a historic F1 venue which held a grand prix for 27 consecutive years from 1980, hosted its first race since 2006 in November last year.
