Firstly I would like to put on record how proud I am of everyone involved in Formula One 2020, to get a 17 race season completed and a legitimate drivers and constructors championship finished during a global pandemic is beyond amazing.

Yes, it was sad to see no fans at most of the races, but it still gave us drama, records were broken, new and old tracks were added to the calendar and as supporters, we had everything we could have dreamed of. We had cars skidding all over the place on newly laid tracks, we had a return to Imola, we had Racing Point challenging the big boys and coming out on top a few times, we had Lewis Hamilton winning a 7th world championship, equalling the record of Michael Schumacher. If 2021 gives us half the fun then we are in for a dramatic year.
2021 brings with it some new and exciting potential. We have had a driver merry-go-round, with McLaren, Ferrari, Red Bull and Aston Martin (formally Racing Point) swapping drivers. As I have just pointed out we have a new team name, Racing Point is now Aston Martin, taking on the mantle of a team who last raced in Formula One back in 1960, that’s a massive gap of 61 years out of the sport. The thing is that they raced for two seasons and didn’t score a single point, however, they now join forces with a team who will almost certainly score points, and could even challenge at the front of the grid, a position more befitting a name like Aston Martin.
Stefano Domenicali President and CEO Formula 1
As far as the regulations go there hasn’t been much noticeable change when you look at the cars, certainly not the changes we expected for 2021, those massive changes have now been put back a year due to the pandemic to 2022. The changes in the regulations this season have been focused on reducing downforce, those slight aerodynamic changes that effectively will make a car slower, but I am almost certain that teams will have found unique ways to claw back some downforce and the speed difference will be minimal.
The biggest visual change will be the floors, in the past, they have looked like they were shaped as a rectangle, with a variety of cutaways to reduce drag and therefore increase downforce. This year they will have to have solid floors. The rear brakes will be different too, the FIA have reduced the size of the winglets on the brake ducts, whilst they may seem insignificant they create downforce that is directed at the wheels, this minor change will make a big difference.
The final change designed to reduce downforce is the rear diffuser, the slats or fences will be reduced in size, once again tearing away at the downforce. You will all remember how important a diffuser is to the speed of a Formula One car if you cast your mind back to the success of Brawn GP. The other change, and one welcomed by the teams, especially the smaller teams is a cost cap introduced with the aim of making Formula One a more affordable sport, but also in order to close the gap between the front and the back.
Oh, and before I forget, the Mercedes funky steering system is banned, so they and every other team will have spent the winter trying to find that one magic thing that could be the difference between finishing outside the points to become championship contenders.
For sure we do not want to take away the prestige of the Grand Prix itself. That will remain the climax of the weekend. We will have qualifying on Friday and then ‘sprint qualifying’ on Saturday. What I can say is that Silverstone will hold a sprint race.
What happens this season will be reliant on what downforce each team has managed to claw back. It is an extension on 2020 in many aspects and it will take a stroke of genius to knock Mercedes off the top, but when you have teams like Red Bull with people like Adrian Newey, you just never know until they hit the track in Bahrain for the three days of testing that they have this year. This will make a difference too, if your car isn’t track-ready out of the box then you haven’t got long to get it right. In the past, they have had several test sessions, so if the car isn’t working so well in test one, you can go back to base, sort it out, and come back to test two with a working car. This year it’s three days in the Middle East (miles from all their factories in Europe), and then straight on to race number one in Bahrain on 26th to 28th March.
In the past I have had the benefit of watching the new cars on track before writing my season review, thus giving me some kind of knowledge of who has got it right, just like last season when I predicted that Ferrari will drop away and Racing Point would be fighting at the front of the grid, and I was right. This season my predictions will be pure guesswork, so rather than focusing on predictions, I will focus my preview on team news etc…

Toto Wolff
Lewis Hamilton
Valtteri Bottas
What can be said about the team from Brackley? They have dominated Formula One throughout the hybrid era, winning seven consecutive driver and constructer championships. Lewis Hamilton winning six himself.
Valtteri Bottas is improving with each season, threatening to break the stronghold Lewis Hamilton has on the drivers’ championship, but he is now watching over his shoulder at George Russell, following his cameo in a Mercedes when Lewis caught Covid. If Valtteri doesn’t perform then I can see a mid-season change, perhaps even a swap with Williams. Valtteri is such a nice guy that even though I am British and would love to see George Russell in a winning car, I don’t want to see Valtteri fail.
The Mercedes Car looks sweet as usual, no surprises there. The silver arrow remains black this season following last seasons focus on the Black Lives Matter movement. Rightly so, the sport needs to become more diverse, just as every sport does, not only sport as every part of our lives needs to become more inclusive.
The fact that we were able to attract INEOS as an investor shows that we have a strong business case and that F1 continues to be a highly attractive platform for big brands and companies.
Will Mercedes continue to dominate until the big reset in 2022? Yes, I think they probably will. They’ve had Red Bull edging closer and closer in each of the last seven seasons, but they have always found a way to claw those few extra tenths somehow.
With a load of downforce taken away and new Pirelli tyres designed to slow teams down (which I have never understood the logic of, why attempt to slow down the fastest sport in the world, it seems ludicrous to me), Mercedes are confident that they have found ways to make that reduction in downforce minimal.
The big question is have the other teams found a way to beat the regulations and then gain some? Well if they have, that is the only way I can see Mercedes relinquishing that top spot. My prediction is that Lewis Hamilton will go on to win his 8th world title and be the stand-alone champion of Formula One history, Valtteri will start the season brightly but will tail off mid-season, leading to a swap with George Russell. Then people will be saying, “If only George had started the season at Mercedes, he would have run Hamilton closer.” Now that is all a bold prediction given that I haven’t seen the cars hit the tarmac yet.

Max Verstappen
Sergio Perez
Now here is an interesting line-up, for the first time Red Bull have looked outside of their own programme (or academy) and taken on a driver who had proven themselves at a rival team. Sergio Perez comes fresh from a great season at Racing Point.
Why have Red Bull done this, well the answer is simple really, in order to promote Max Verstappen closer to the drivers’ championship they needed a driver who would push him all the way. That is what they have got with Sergio Perez, a fantastic driver who has already got many podiums under his belt. Last season Red Bull had Alex Albon, whilst there is no doubting his talent, it was never quite enough to either push Max a little harder or worked as a rear gunner for him.
If Red Bull is to win championships then they need two drivers producing the goods, bringing home a tally of points every race. The thing is, have they gone too far with Sergio? I rate the Mexican, I believe he has the racecraft needed to consistently win races if he was given the right car, so a rear gunner for Max, or a rival for him?
It’s always great to see a new car hit the track for the first time and to see the drivers get their first laps in.
If any team is going to come up with something magic on their car, that team would be Red Bull, they have Adrian Newey, perhaps the most cunning, yet intelligent engineers in the history of the sport. He knows downforce like a child of 15 knows what a square is, he can find you milli-seconds that can push that Red Bull ahead of the Mercedes. They are also the kings of development, so whilst everyone starts to think about the next season, Red Bull continue to work on their current car too, hence why in recent seasons their wins have been towards the end of the season.
As this season is more or less an extension of 2020, Red Bull could come out of the blocks firing on all cylinders, and they have the drivers to achieve the success too. Will they have enough to beat Mercedes, probably not but Lewis Hamilton’s dream of closer racing will likely come true from race number one. Prediction for the Bahrain race at the end of March is a 1,2,3,4 of Mercedes and Red Bull, but in what order? Well, that is anybody’s guess.

Daniel Ricciardo
Lando Norris
Now here is an interesting one for me to talk about, a team who had their worst seasons on record during the era of the Honda engine, then came the Renault engine and the team found themselves on the podium once more.
It’s a great story and one in which their hoards of fans got excited again. They finished 3rd last season, they had a happy pair of teammates in Lando Norris and Carlos Sainz, always joking around and the whole place seemed full of harmony, but that was broken up when Ferrari signed Carlos Sainz and McLaren knocked on the door of Renault and took on Daniel Ricciardo.
Who was that a good swap for? McLaren I think. Carlos Sainz is a brilliant racer but put Daniel Ricciardo in a winning car and he will get you wins, he proved that at Red Bull. What else is there going on at McLaren? Hmmm oh yes, they weren’t satisfied with finishing 3rd, so they discarded the Renault engine that gave them their most successful season during the hybrid era and instead went for the fastest engine on the grid, a Mercedes power block.
All of us at McLaren are ready and determined for another season of intensely competitive Formula 1 racing. The entire team has worked hard over the short winter, together with our colleagues from Mercedes-AMG, to produce the MCL35M and provide a strong car for our drivers to race this year.
So are McLaren back where they belong? Oh yes, they are, and if they have improved the chassis, even more, this season then watch out for Mercedes and Red Bull, McLaren Mercedes are on their way back to the top.
They have a dream team driver line up, probably together with one of the most promising drivers on the grid, mixed with the experience of Daniel Ricciardo. This is a recipe for success. Will they win the championship? Unlikely, but they are going to become a regular feature on the podium this season and in some races will push the big two all the way. In my mind, they are the team who are most likely to have a trick up their sleeve this season, something that no one else has thought of to grab back that downforce lost in the regulations.
Underestimate McLaren at your peril, that’s all I will say. But, and there is a big but, there are other midfield teams that might have something to say about that, including the newly named Aston Martin.

Sebastian Vettel
Lance Stroll
Isn’t it fantastic to have a team called Aston Martin on the grid once more? I know they were only ever on the grid for two seasons in 1959 and 1960, with absolutely no success. It feels somehow right that the British super car makers are gracing Formula One.
This team was formerly Racing Point and before that Force India, as independent teams, have clawed their way up from the back of the grid to being podium regulars in 2020. A team owned by driver Lance Stroll’s father, it was renamed when Lawrence Stroll bought the British sports car company. It’s not the first time the name has been on the grid in recent times though, as prior to the name change this year, you would have seen them as major sponsors of Red Bull, but they’ve decided to give it a go themselves.
What a baseline they have to work from too, last season they’d have finished 3rd if it wasn’t for the Mercedes/brake duct fine and points deduction, making it the teams most successful season in recent history. They replaced Sergio Perez, who’d been a great servant to the team, with 4 times the winner of the drivers’ championship, Sebastian Vettel. Vettel has come from a torrid time at Ferrari, where a combination of poor cars and driver mistakes meant his dream of driving for Ferrari didn’t go as planned.
Can Sebastian Vettel find success again at Aston Martin? If they provide him with a car as good as last year, then yes he can, we might even get to see that finger go back up in the air, indicating a race win.
This team were accused of copying the 2019 winning Mercedes car, but it’s not copying, it’s being clever. Why wouldn’t you attempt to build your car following the visible parts of a championship-winning car? Of course, you would if you were sensible and that’s exactly what this team did, they took what they could from the 2019 Mercedes and built a fantastic car around it.
What will happen as Aston Martin take to the grid once more? Well, I expect many points and some podiums, probably the team at the head of the midfield in 2021.

Mattia Binotto
Charles Leclerc
Carlos Sainz
Oh, dear! What a poor few seasons the team in red have had, not so much a challenge for Red Bull, but more the speed of a Red Squirrel.
Even with the young, talented and hungry Charles Leclerc and the serial winner Sebastian Vettel, they haven’t managed to challenge the top teams, simply not good enough for Ferrari, and even though that may sound harsh, Ferrari themselves will tell you the same.
The name is known for winning, it isn’t known for battling for making it into the top 10, something they failed to do on a number of occasions last season. This year they have the Spaniard Carlos Sainz joining Charles Leclerc as a teammate at the prancing horse, is this a recipe for success? Of course, it is, two great drivers, but they have to provide a car to win. To do that they would have to tear up the designs of the 2020 car and start again, but have they? Probably not because they’ll have one eye on the big changes for 2022.
There’s plenty of positive energy coming from our two drivers. Carlos has spent a lot of time in the factory and has integrated with the team very quickly. As for Charles, he is already perfectly at home with the team: he knows what he wants and is also very aware of the role he has in the team, both in and out of the car. Over the winter, we have witnessed the two guys getting on very well together and this can only be a good thing for the whole team.
In my humble opinion I predict a year of Ferrari going further back unless they have managed to do something with the engine, being a factory team, they can pull themselves out of a hole by improving the engine.
I feel that halfway through the season Carlos Sainz will be watching the papaya cars of McLaren disappearing up the road, and he’ll wonder why he ever moved, however, I am sure he would have been sold on the idea of 2022. This will be a season of midfield battles for the cars in red, I can’t see them improving enough to challenge the front runners.
Charles LeClerc will drive the backside out of the car and may get some surprising podiums, but apart from that, I predict another season of woe for this historically great team. Closest challenges, well I suspect somewhere around Alpine and Alpha Tauri, maybe even Alfa Romeo who look to have produced a nice looking car.

Fernando Alonso
Esteban Ocon
Formally Renault, well, basically still Renault as Alpine is just Renault’s sports car name. That’s not the headline though, Fernando Alonso coming back to the team he won his two championships with is.
After a year out and prior to that a number of years struggling in a McLaren with a Honda engine, has he come back thinking Alpine have something up their sleeve this year? In my mind, this team can do one of two things, fight it out at the front of the midfield, trying to secure 4th or 5th in the constructors’ championship, or they’ve tempted Fernando Alonso back because they have a secret weapon we don’t know about yet, have they persuaded him that they have a winning car this year? Fernando did say he would only return if someone could provide him with a winning car.
I’m very excited to be back in Formula 1 and to be part of the Alpine F1 Team’s next chapter in the sport. I’ve been working hard to prepare myself for racing back in Formula 1 and the target is to attack from the beginning.
Hmmm, it gets the mind racing. If you haven’t seen the Alpine car yet, it looks stunning, but that means nothing if it isn’t winning races. This team know all about winning and they have two drivers capable of doing just that, let’s see what they’ve put underneath them this year. They would’ve been able to concentrate on themselves more this year as they now have no customer teams, since McLaren’s move to Mercedes power.
Alpine has gone back to the winning colour of blue but this time a stunning metallic colour. During the launch, they released a fantastic video showing the F1 car racing through the Alps. This is a French team with a head office in Enstone England and they know how to win. This is an extension of the 2020 car, but they feel that they should consistently in Q3 and with Fernando Alonso they could well surprise us all and start winning again. It’s unlikely, and Fernando has probably been sold on ideas for 2022, but you never know. It’s great to have a name like Alpine in F!.

Kimi Räikkönen
Antonio Giovinazzi
A rarity in Formula One for 2021, a team who’ve retained their driver line up, the evergreen Kimi Raikkonen is still racing and has been happy to stick with Alfa Romeo. A team with a name like Alfa Romeo should be fighting for wins and podiums, but underneath they are still Sauber.
Can they improve on 2020? Of this I am not so sure, this team doesn’t have the resources of the front running teams, and are part of the reason the cost cap came into play. They will be having one eye on 2022, perhaps more so than the teams in front of them. If they can come up with just one idea better than the rest then they could find 2022 rockets them up the order, but every team will be looking for that edge.
The launch of a new car is always an emotional moment, the culmination of months of effort from everyone back at the factory and the start of a new adventure.
One team always seems to do it, one team always dominates, so why not Alfa Romeo in 2022? The cost cap and some standard parts will help close the gap up. But this is a review on 2021, so what can they do? Well, Kimi will forever enjoy himself wherever he is on the grid, he’s a cool customer who will make some amazing overtakes, remember the start he had in Portugal? Antonio Giovinazzi has grown into his role quite well and deserves a second crack at the pinnacle of motorsport.
Can they spring a surprise in 2021? In short no, it’s unlikely. They will be looking for an improvement on 2020 and I believe they can do that, they should be fighting in the midfield, looking for regular appearances in Q2 with the odd cameo in Q3.
Watch out for Kimi in Portugal though, it may well turn out to be his favourite track, however, it may not be as slippy in 2021 for the iceman.

I don’t need to say formally Toro Rosso anymore do I? Whoops, I’ve said it anyway. This team is the West Brom of Formula One (sorry West Brom fans, no offence intended), they have a good race then a bad race, they have a good season, then a bad season.
They’re a bit topsy turvy. In 2020 they won a race, their 2nd ever, so quite a magical season in many respects for the Italian team. In Pierre Gasly they have in my opinion one of the most underrated drivers in Formula One, he’s been a winner all through his career, but he just hasn’t found a foothold in F1 yet. In Yuki Tsunoda they have an exciting driver, I enjoyed watching him in Formula 2 last season and I think he will bring his no-nonsense style of racing to Formula One.
I’ve been lucky enough to spend some time with Scuderia AlphaTauri ahead of the season, so I’m already developing strong relationships and learning a lot from them – including Pierre, who is an incredible talent. My main goal is to learn quickly and deliver results as soon as possible, and I’m really excited to get started.
There will be moments when he’ll perhaps have a crash and take another driver out of a race, but his bravery more often than not brings him results. He will turn out to be one of the most exciting drivers in the sport and will no doubt one day be in a Red Bull.
What are this team due in 2021? Well if the topsy turvy theme continues you shouldn’t expect much from them, however, in Tsunoda, I can imagine some daring overtakes putting him in the points on occasion. Pierre Gasly also has the ability to mix it with the big boys, as long as he doesn’t let the pressure get to him.
This team could have a poor season or it could be one where they find themselves at the front of the midfield, who knows? In my view, this is the mystery team of Formula One 2021. Literally, anything could happen.

Mick Schumacher
Nikita Mazepin
Oh boy, oh boy what do we have here? A name we all recognise, Mick Schumacher, the son of 7-time world champion Michael Schumacher, here to disrupt Lewis Hamilton’s assault on an 8th world title. Can he do that? Probably not in a Haas, unless he’s got a streak of that cunning Schumacher blood.
Can you imagine in the final race of the season, Lewis Hamilton needs to lap Mick Schumacher on the final lap to win his 8th title, could there be a whoops moment as Hamilton is ever so slightly clipped? Not likely to be fair, having heard Mick Schumacher speak, he speaks highly of Lewis. I apologise, I got carried away with that image in my head for a moment and forgot about the Haas car and the other new driver Nikita Mazepin, not unlike Yuki Tsunoda, he was an exciting watch in Formula Two last season, I hope he brings that style into F1, we will be in for some exciting racing even at the far end of the grid.
I have a bit of an issue talking about Haas, not only haven’t I seen them on the track like everyone else, I haven’t seen their car yet, as that will be revealed in Bahrain during the test (still 4 days away, deadlines mean I’m writing prior to the test). What I can tell you is that it’s going to have a red, white and blue livery, assuming that is to show their American heritage.
I’m pretty happy to be going back to a race track because at the moment we have too much time to think about other things. Once we get going everything is focused on going racing – there’s less time for BS. I’m really looking forward to it.
Two exciting drivers from F2, a team that knows racing inside out, that haven’t quite got the measure of Formula One yet. It’s bound to happen at some point, this team of professional racers will achieve success in Formula One.
Can Mick Schumacher emulate what his father did in the sport? He is young enough, he’s talented, so why not. Will we see him in the red of Ferrari one day? Yes, most definitely, this is why he is at Haas, a customer of Ferrari engines. You know what would make 2021 special, regardless of what happens on the track, would be to see Michael Schumacher able to make it to a race to watch his son. We are all still thinking about you Michael, and we never give up hope of seeing you again.

Williams has had a terrible few years, a team so used to winning struggling to even get a point. The team has now been taken over and is no longer run by the Williams family, who will be sadly missed on the F1 paddock. We wish you all well.
Can they lift themselves off the bottom of the pile? Well last year they improved immeasurably, it may not have seemed like that because they were still struggling at the back, but the gap between themselves and the midfield teams was reduced by quite a large margin, another jump like that on their rivals will see them fighting in the midfield.
The winter has been great, and I was able to enjoy some time off which was needed after such an intense year. We have since resumed training and been back in the simulator conducting all of the necessary work ahead of the season. The change of ownership and management is really exciting for Williams and there is a lot of positivity at the factory.
There is no doubting that they have one of the hottest talents in Formula One in George Russell, he proved that with his cameo in Lewis’ car last season. Should he be fighting at the back of the grid? You would probably argue that he shouldn’t, however, he is learning his racecraft.
He pulled off some amazing moves even in a poor Williams car, becoming known as Mr Saturday among my media peers. He managed to drag every inch of power from that Williams to get himself into Q2 on a number of occasions when he really shouldn’t have been able to. Nicholas Latifi is a good partner for George but Latifi’s talents seem to go unnoticed because of who he is up against. It’s like putting a League Two football team up against Manchester City every week.
Can Williams get among the midfield pack this season? I hope so because it is so sad seeing a team like Williams struggling. Perhaps 2022 is their time to come back, someone has to, I keep saying it, but it’s true.
More of the same in 2021, Mercedes out in front being chased by a Red Bull going faster and faster with every race that goes by. Some exciting new drivers in the mix including the return of the Schumacher name just as Lewis Hamilton aims to break Michael’s record.
Formula One will hopefully continue looking at equality in the sport and promoting diversity on its worldwide stage. 2021 is the platform for massive changes in 2022, some great races to come on some great circuits, some of which only came into the sport last season due to the pandemic.
I would love to see fans back at the tracks, maybe just maybe Silverstone will be busy once again this year, and all the other tracks too, but I’m being British aren’t I? We need fans in Formula One, it really makes it more of a spectacle.
Let’s go racing!
