Carlos Sainz at Ferrari, Sergio Pérez at Red Bull, Daniel Ricciardo at McLaren, Fernando Alonso at Alpine, Sebastian Vettel at Aston Martin, Mick Schumacher and Nikita Mazepin at Haas and Yuki Tsunoda at AlphaTauri. These are the eight novelties that Formula 1 World Cup fans will observe on the grid of the Bahrain GP 2021 (March 28) compared to last season.
23 citations in total, if the COVID-19 pandemic allows, where there will also be news to improve the spectacle of the races. In this sense, the two sessions of free practice 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 was the case in 2020.
