The 2021 Formula 1 World Championship kicks off this Sunday in Sakhir with the celebration of the 2021 Bahrain GP. 23 tests in total, if the COVID-19 pandemic allows it, where the 20 drivers that make up the Gran Circo grid will seek the limits of their cars to be the first to see the final checkered flag fly.
Similarly, it should be remembered that the two free practice sessions on Fridays, which previously lasted 90 minutes each, will be reduced to one hour, the same duration as the third session on Saturday. In addition, the grand prizes will start again at the hour, and not ten minutes later, as it was in 2020.
