With only 3 teams keeping the same lineup as last year it's gonna be really fascinating how all the new team mate combos get on. See who gets bragging rights, how the team harmony works and all that. Can't wait

Who do you think will be the most impressive rookie of the 3?

I wonder if these developments could disadvantage UK-based teams or even sabotage the start of the season altogether... again.

Uk is currently black balled around the World - maybe it’s Ferrari’s and “Saubers” big chance! What Polotico would risk reimporting just for a race? .....

Tsunoda I think won’t do a bad job, not necessarily a great job, but will pick a few decent results at the very least.
Mick, yes he does tend to take a bit of time learning, but once he does, his talent shows Mazepin just needs to keep his head down and keep out of trouble if he is to get any credibility |

I don't like seeing two rookies as teammates. We have seen it before a few times over the years with Torro Rosso and some small teams. Apart from knowing how they are performing relative to their teammate (an unknown "yardstick") there is no way of knowing just how good they are. If they fill the back row of the grid next year, do we write them both off as hopeless, or do we assume that the car is rubbish? Likewise, if they qualify well, how do we know that the Haas car is not a modern day equivalent to the 2009 Brawn?

It'll mean more time for support series. Or (perhaps more pertinently) more time for corporate flesh-pressing and/or fast laps, if that sort of thing is allowed by then.

Looks like it may be a Bahrain GP season start with pre season testing also held there. Decision on starting build of circuit in Australia needed by end of January.
If above does occur, Australia will move to 2nd half of the season in a rejigged calendar. Sent from my SNE-LX1 using Tapatalk |

Makes no sense to run a race at the end of 2021 at Albert Park followed by another at start of 2022.Forget 2021.
The current Covid situation world wide makes me think 2021 season will be closer to 2020 than a “normal” one. |

I remember we had an Australian GP at the end of 95 then one immediately after at the beginning of 96. Different venues I know, but still. No reason why they can't have it last again

part of f1’s contract with abu dhabi states that they’re the last event on the calendar, unfortunately.

That just shows how much money talks. More money than sense sometimes

might be wrong but australia either has a gentlemans agreement or a contract to be the first, so it goes both ways.
