The Vietnam Grand Prix will not take place in 2021, so there is still an open spot on the Formula 1 calendar of 2021. According to Racefans.net, Imola is the most likely candidate for the open spot in the coming season.

After an eventful Formula 1 season in 2020, F1 wants to return to a normal calendar in 2021. There are 23 races on the programme, although one place still has to be filled in. Vietnam has disappeared, so Liberty Media has to look for a replacement in April.

The replacement of Vietnam

That replacement is, according to Racefans.net, Imola. The historic circuit returned to the Formula 1 calendar in 2020 to fill in the chaotic season and with Formula 1 that wanted to cover all the costs. In 2021, however, things will be different. F1 will not be able to cover all its costs for another whole year, so it hopes to have a full calendar with races that can once again earn their own money.

Imola is an important candidate, but now that Mugello and Turkey have (again) had a taste of it, they too will fight for a place on the calendar. On Monday evening Mercedes also posted a remarkable message, which could also indicate the return of the Malaysian GP. Enough choice for Formula 1.
