Further to Pete's earlier post, and no surprises here: -

F1: Australian & Chinese Grands Prix Postponed Because of Coronavirus Restrictions

"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 races were first and third on the 2021 calendar and the season is now scheduled to begin with the second race, in Bahrain, on 26-28 March.

Australia and China have strict rules on international arrivals.

The Australian Grand Prix, originally scheduled for 19-21 March, will now take place between 19-21 November.

A race at Imola in Italy has been added from 16-18 April and becomes the second race of the season.

"We are pleased to confirm that the number of races planned for the season remains unchanged," F1 president Stefano Domenicali said."

Can't wait.
It's unfortunate for Albion that he was kicked out just before Red Bull designed a car that looks so planted. Also if Tsunoda ends up being good he will kill any chance of Albion coming back to fill a Red Bull seat. A slim chance of a future Alpha Tauri seat.

Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

Good start for me, I thought, I had done my picks yesterday but for some reason, they were for British GP and so now I've already lost points. I had Verstappen on pole. Oh well, time to start catching up you others.

[pharvey]

^ Well, I decided to wait to see how Red Bull would do in qualifying, so also lost the "early bird points". That said, Hamilton proved his class as an F1 driver (as did Verstappen) - what an opening race!

Let's hope this continues!!

But why did Botas nick the fastest lap...... Barsteward took a point away from me!!

This is going to be harder to predict that last season methinks... [EDIT] Not that I did well then!!
