Pérez was without a seat for quite some time, which was a big surprise given all he’s done this season. After much deliberation by the team, it has just been confirmed that Sergio Pérez will be joining Max Verstappen for the 2021 season, and Alex Albon will now be a reserve driver. Red Bull: Max Verstappen and Sergio Pérez, Alex Albon as reserve Read Also: Mick Schumacher, Son Of F1 Legend Michael Schumacher, Will Race For Haas In 2021 However, none of them will be racing for the team in 2021, as Haas has gone the opposite direction and signed rookies Mick Schumacher, son of Michael Schumacher, and Nikita Mazepin, both of whom are making the jump up to F1 from F2.

Haas, the only American team in Formula 1, has had very experienced drivers in their lineup with Romain Grosjean and Kevin Magnussen. Daniil Kvyat, on the other hand, will be leaving F1, and Yuki Tsunoda, who was promoted to AlphaTauri from Red Bull’s junior team in F2, will take his place. For those reasons, he will be staying with the team. This left Sergio Pérez without a seat, but we’ll get to that later.ĪlphaTauri: Pierre Gasly and Yuki TsunodaĪlphaTauri’s Pierre Gasly has delivered a very solid performance this season, getting his first win at Monza and finishing a respectable 10th in the Drivers’ Championship. With Carlos Sainz taking his place at Ferrari, Sebastian Vettel is moving to Aston Martin alongside Lance Stroll.

He will be joining Charles Leclerc for the upcoming season.Īston Martin: Sebastian Vettel and Lance StrollĪfter being entangled in the Mercedes parts-copying debacle and having a rather rocky start to the season, Racing Point, now Aston Martin, likely felt they needed some stability in their driver lineup.

After six years with the Italian team, and with a dismal 2021 season, Sebastian Vettel will be replaced by Carlos Sainz who’s coming in from McLaren. Having experienced their worst season in 40 years in Formula 1 as a constructor, Ferrari is certainly hoping things will get better next season. McLaren: Daniel Ricciardo and Lando NorrisĪfter finishing 3rd in this year’s Consructors’ Championship, McLaren looks to continue that success not only by switching to a Mercedes power unit, but also getting some more experience on the team. Seasoned driver Daniel Ricciardo is moving in from Renault and will be racing alongside Lando Norris for the 2021 season.įerrari: Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz Having won his two world titles (in 20) with Renault, he should be in, more or less, familiar territory. Filling it is Fernando Alonso, who has returned from his F1 hiatus to continue his career. Renault/Alpine: Fernando Alonso and Esteban Oconĭaniel Ricciardo’s departure from Renault, which from 2021 will be rebranded as Alpine, has left the team with a hole in their lineup. The only question raised was talks of Räikkönen possibly leaving F1 due to his age, but that was later debunked. This lineup has never really been up for much speculation, with both Kimi Räikkönen and Antonio Giovanazzi confirmed for 2021 quite early on. It’s just guesswork.Alfa Romeo: Kimi Räikkönen and Antonio Giovanazzi However, they may cut off at a different date and have the lineup from before a certain race so have no Petecof at Camps but have Nannini there and Aitken at HWA. I’d assume Petecof will be there instead of Nannini? Nannini at HWA over Aitken. The fact there hasn’t been a consistent grid this year makes me think it’ll be the announced lineup. Alesi moved teams to MP but that wasn’t factored into last year or even this year. For example, Markelovs helmet last time out was one he used in later races but that’s only an aesthetic thing. I think there’s a cut-off date somewhere. Yet 3 race weekend is the format and therefore should.

Like the F1 sprint qualifying is a trial so shouldn’t be used. Theres no reason to introduce the new format a year earlier than it is in real life. What’s happening next season has no relevance on what happens this season as it wasn’t announced until a fortnight or so ago anyway so they’d have started F2 2021 work anyway way before then.

#F1 2021 DRIVER LINEUP UPDATE#

It’s supposed to represent the real season so you’d assume it would do the actual format at least, otherwise they could have just done a livery and driver update and got it out waaaaayyy earlier. They may leave the old format as an option but no obligation to do so. Not mandatory obviously as it’ll give you options to just do a one-off feature race or the 3-race full weekend. On the contrary to other answers, I think it will be the three race format.
