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.
