FORMULA ONE race organisers have had a mad scramble this year to get all their races in order.

The Japanese Grand Prix is the latest race to get axed from the F1 calendar, following on from Singapore and Australia, while Qatar has stepped in signing a 10-year deal with F1 in the slot that was originally set for Melbourne.

The Brit, 36, moved level with Michael Schumacher on seven world titles last year and will become the outright top dog if he collects the most points across this season's races.

In a season that has already seen shifts and changes to the calendar,the Australian Grand Prix was due to take place on the weekend of March 21, but was put back to November 21.

Then the Melbourne event was cancelled altogether due to rising Covid cases Down Under.

And in April the world governing body approved sprint races in the British, Brazilian and Italian Grand Prix as a replacement for qualifying.

Here is how the F1 calendar unfolds in 2021 with our race by race schedule.
