The 2021 F1 season is fast approaching and here we have the list of teams and drivers competing in the championship with other details.
The FIA finally released the updated entry list for 2021 F1 season which showcases few changes from the last one in 2020. The biggest is for Renault changing to Alpine and Racing Point to Aston Martin. It resulted in their chassis abbreviation change too.
For Alpine, it went from ‘R.S.20’ to ‘A521’, whereas for Aston Martin, it changed from ‘RP20’ to ‘AMR21’. Apart from few changes in terms of team personnel and drivers, only one F1 team name saw a sponsor addition, with Haas securing Uralkali partnership.
