2021 Formula One Season (ESB World)

The 2021 Formula One Championship is a planned motor racing competition for single seater racing cars. This is the 72nd running for the Formula One Championship. It is recognised by the governing body of motorsport worldwide, the FIA (Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile) and as the highest level of single seater racing worldwide. The Championship is scheduled to take place over a number of Grand Prix events and the drivers are competing for the World Drivers Championship and the teams for World Constructors Championship.

The 2021 Season was expected to bring in new regulation changes to further enhance the cars and bring the field closer together, although, this was pushed back to 2022 due to the 2020 Coronavirus pandemic.

In the shortened 2020 season, Max Verstappen enters the new season as the defending champion and Red Bull as the Constructors Champions respectively.
