Formula 1 said in a statement that the development of the Kovid-19 pandemic would not allow the season to begin in Melbourne, as was customary, but the competition is yet to pass through Australia this year. According to local authorities, the Australian leg was scheduled for a period between 18 and 21 November.
Travel restrictions also affect the Chinese Grand Prix, which cannot be held on scheduled dates. Promoters and local officials will consider what is possible if there is a race on the calendar.
With the changes, the number of races scheduled for the 2021 season remains at 23. The season will begin a week later than planned in Bahrain and some races with the hopes of ending in Abu Dhabi on 12 December.
