Aight as good as the 2020 F1 season might've been I think we can all agree to just leave that whole year behind us shall we?
The calendar of 2021 as of the time I'm typing this looks as follows. What it's going to look like tomorrow, a week or a month from now is a whole nother thing. Australia is already all but guaranteed to be cancelled/postponed but no official word on it yet so I'm gonna throw it in there.

[/TBODY]Lewis Hamilton's contract is yet to be announced and reports say there is some friction between the two parties. I'm not going to believe for one second the contract is not going to be made until I see Mercedes announcing it.

[/TBODY]Preseason testing is scheduled on March 2-4, but is likely going to be switched from Catalunya to Bahrain.
Racing Point is rebranded as Aston Martin, Renault as Alpine.
Grosjean, Magnussen, Kvyat, Albon leave the grid. In come the new rookies Mick Schumacher, Nikita Mazepin, Yuki Tsunoda and Fernando Alonso. Tsunoda's probably going to be the easiest to spot as he's a full 11 centimetres shorter than the next shortest guy on the grid.
FP1 and FP2 are reduced to 60 minutes, meaning the total practice time comes down from 4 hours to 3.
F2 and F3 will now have three races per weekend, and will no longer race on the same weekend with each other. W Series will also become a support series to Formula 1.
Lewis Hamilton currently sits at 95 race wins and 98 pole positions so when/if he re-signs with Mercedes he's all but guaranteed to be the first driver to hit the big fat number of 100. A record 8th world title is pretty much his alongside dozens of more or less relevant records.
