F1 announces revised 2021 calendar

ANKARA

Formula One on Aug. 28 announced a revised calendar for the rest of the 2021 season, following the cancellation of the Japanese Grand Prix due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The new schedule will have 22 races – a record number of races in one season – with some of the events shifted to new dates.

There are no date changes for the Dutch Grand Prix in Zandvoort, the Italian GP in Monza, or the race in the Russian Black Sea resort of Sochi.

Earlier set for Oct. 3, the Turkish Grand Prix now will be held on Oct. 10.

On Nov. 21, there will be an event at a circuit yet to be announced.
