The long wait for the start of the new Formula 1 season appears to be coming to an end as plans ramp up for the opening round in Austria next month.
The COVID-19 pandemic will result in an unprecedented F1 season, featuring multiple races at the same circuit for the first time, while some new tracks are aiming to try and join the schedule as late stand-ins for cancelled rounds.
F1 remains determined to get a 15-to-18-race season completed, targeting swings of races through Asia, the Americas and the Middle East once its Europe leg has finished. But the reality of the pandemic - which is far from over - means it is difficult to truly know what the final calendar will look like.
