Historia

Formel 1-säsongen 2021 planerades till en början att köras över 23 lopp. Säsongens inledande lopp, Australiens Grand Prix, sköts till en början upp på grund av covid-19-restriktioner i landet innan den ställdes in.^[3]

Avbrytandet av Australiens Grand Prix inträffade sent under säsongen och lämnade en ledig plats i kalendern, och det inledande Qatar Grand Prix tillkännagavs som dess ersättare i oktober 2021.^[4]

2021

Huvudartikel: Qatars Grand Prix 2021

Den inledande upplagan av Qatar Grand Prix ägde rum den 21 november, i stället för den inställda Australiens Grand Prix.

Efter ett års frånvaro 2022, på grund av fotbolls-VM 2022 som arrangerades i Qatar mellan november och december, kom Qatar Grand Prix att återgå till kalendern på ett 10-årskontrakt från och med 2023. En ny specialbyggd bana föreslogs initialt för loppet 2023,^[5] men loppet kom att köras på Lusail.^[6]
