He even out-qualified his world champion team mate. Rumor had it that Giovinazzi’s drive was on the line but his late season performance improvement sealed his drive for 2021.

One of the few teams not making driver changes with both Räikkönen and Giovinazzi returning. Once again we will have a Japanese driver aligned with Honda for the F1 2021 team. Yuki came third in the Formula 2 championship in 2020. Unfortunately, though, Daniil Kvyat was not re-signed in favor of F1 rookie Yuki Tsunoda. My 2020 driver of the year Pierre Gasly returns to AlphaTauri where he’s doing a tremendously good job.

Paired with Alonso is the returning Esteban Ocon. Renault has made performance gains specifically at the end of the 2020 season, and Ricciardo’s move to McLaren opened up the opportunity for the Spaniard to return. We see two-time world champion Fernando Alonso return to Formula 1 to the team that he won those two championships with. We will know the returning Renault as Alpine - pronounced “Al-PEEEN” - which is the new performance brand arm of Renault. Sainz is talented, but I’m worried the Ferrari just isn’t where it needs to be in order to show his skill off.Ī second F1 2021 team on the grid has gone through a rebranding. However, I’m excited to see Charles LeClerc return to the F1 2021 team and wring the neck of the car he’s given and we’ll see how McLaren transplant Carlos Sainz does. I never thought I’d see them become a mid-field team, yet here we are. 2020 was a season to forget for the Scuderia. 2021 sees few regulation changes but I’m curious to see what Aston Martin does for 2022 with major regulation changes meaning they won’t be able to copy Mercedes’ homework from the prior year. Paired with Lance Stroll is four-time champion Sebastian Vettel, fresh off a disappointing career change at Ferrari. The “Pink Panthers” of Racing Point have been rebranded to Aston Martin and I for one am excited to see British Racing Green back on the grid.

Keep an eye on winter testing to see if it’s been a successfully reliable transplant as these are difficult changes to pull off without a full redesign of the car. Also thrown into the mix is McLaren’s move from Renault engines back to where they’ve previously found victories with a Mercedes power plant. While Lando Norris returns he will be paired with Aussie Daniel Ricciardo. My personal standout team from 2020 also sees a driver change for the F1 lineup, 2021. However, given the stability of the technical regulations, it may be a hill too high to climb. Of all teams, Red Bull is best poised to tackle the Mercs. Perez found himself on the sidelines when Vettel announced he was moving teams and found a home with the prime energy drinks team. Paired with Max Verstappen will be Mexican Sergio Perez. The changes in the driver’s market affect Red Bull’s F1 2021 team.

With both Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas resuming their driver duties, the 3-pointed star will be difficult to beat. The reigning World Constructors Champions for the 7th year running, clearly they are the team to beat. We’ll go in the order they finished the 2020 season Mercedes
