As if the second half of the 2021 calendar wasn’t already causing F1 bosses a mighty headache, Brazil has requested that their race be delayed by a week.

Formula 1 will return from the summer break with a triple-header in Belgium, Holland and Italy. After that the circus is off to Russia, but that’s about where confirmation stops.

The Turkish Grand Prix is up in the air, Turkey on the United Kingdom’s red list, while Japan’s rising Covid-19 numbers have also raised questions about their race.

There is talk about hosting two grands prix at the Circuit of the Americas instead, but Texas’ numbers are also on the up.
