It won’t be long before the 2021 Formula 1 season starts. Everything about the races, the racing calendar, the date and the TV broadcast is available here at SPOX.
The 72nd season of Formula 1 is imminent. It is the last year before the new regulations will fundamentally change the racing series.
Formula 1: Dates for the 2021 season
From March 12th to 14th, the teams will be able to test their cars for three days at the Bahrain International Circuit in Sakir. The season opener will also take place in Bahrain on March 28th. The record season comes to an end on December 12th.
Formula 1 – 2021 season: broadcast on TV and live stream
For the new season, there will also be changes in terms of transmission technology. RTL is only allowed to broadcast four races on TV, and all races are also available on Sky . The pay TV broadcaster has even launched its own channel, Sky Sport F1 , for this purpose. In addition to the Formula 1 sessions, you can also see all training sessions, qualifying sessions and races in the Formula 2 and Formula 3 junior series there. The Porsche Supercup is also broadcast by Sky .
RTL shows these races:
- April 18th: Grand Prix of Emilia Romagna in Imola
- May 9th: Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona
- September 12th: Italian Grand Prix in Monza
- November 7th: Brazilian Grand Prix in Sao Paulo
In Austria, ORF and Servus TV alternate with the broadcast. Both providers will take over the Austrian GP, which means that both will broadcast twelve races each.
