New year, new grid, same speed.
The Formula 1 season gets underway officially with the Bahrain Grand Prix this Sunday, and the 2021 slate is a fairly comprehensive 23 races, the longest season in F1 history.
Lucky 7s were in the cards last season: Mercedes won its seventh-consecutive constructors championship, while Lewis Hamilton won his seventh world championship, surpassing Michael Schumacher for most wins in Formula 1 history in the process. This year, there's also a fairly new grid, with eight drivers making their debut for new teams this season.
Here's what you need to know about the first race of the 2021 F1 season:
