The one certainty over F1's uncertain 2021 calendar
Formula 1 has firmed up its 2021 calendar but, like last year, it is uncertain if there are further cancellations in the pipeline. Largely, it's at the mercy of worldwide COVID vaccine progression - but unlike 2020, F1 will at least be guaranteed a full season
The uncertainty the world faces about how the coronavirus pandemic will shake out over the next few months is immense. And Formula 1 is certainly not immune from that.
Despite the world having so much more knowledge about the spread and treatment of the virus than it did this time last year, our return to normality still seems quite some way away as variants and vaccines become the latest talk.
