With COVID-19 still being a major factor in the world, Formula 1 once again has to be ready to modify its 2021 calendar if needed.
The start of the 2021 season has already been postponed a bit, with the Australian and the Chinese grands prix moved to a later slot. The season will therefore start on March 28 in Bahrain.
Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff believes its reasonable to expect more changes.
“That fear is, of course, well-founded,” Toto Wolff told ORF.

“Australia has been postponed, but the Grand Prix is so important that they didn’t want to cancel it completely. It will follow at the end of the year.
“And China has a general ban on major events until August. Those are two factors that cannot be influenced. That is why we are starting in Bahrain.”
However, with the vaccine now available, the end of the COVID-19 crisis is at least in sight.
“I assume that after the summer we will have a reasonably normal season again,” concluded the Austrian.
