F1 | 2021 calendar, Joe Saward's indiscretion: "Agreement reached for a GP in Qatar"

Despite the statements released a few days ago by Stefano Domenicali, CEO and President of Liberty Media, Qatar would be very close to formalizing its entry into the 2021 F1 World Championship.

According to what was declared by the English journalist Joe Saward, the Losail International Circus would have reached an agreement with the management of the Circus for a stage within the 2021 calendar, which would be placed just before the double trip to the Middle East composed of Saudi Arabia and Abu Dhabi.

Qatar, on paper, would take the place of the Australian Grand Prix, canceled for the second consecutive year due to the spread of the Delta variant in Europe. As far as Japan is concerned, however, Liberty Media's hope is to "save" the world round in Suzuka, even if anti-contagion regulations in the country of the Rising Sun, in fact, prevent Honda from organizing an open-door event .

If he were to miss the only trip to Asia of the season, Domenicali&Company would close a new agreement with Sakhir, which would return to host Formula 1 after the start of the season.
