Formula One have reportedly given the green light for the Portuguese Grand Prix to fill the vacant third-race slot on the 2021 calendar. Formula One are finalising their calendar for the upcoming season – which begins on March 28 – amid uncertainty over the opening rounds due to the ongoing Covid pandemic. The Portimao circuit was drafted in for the 2020 season to hold its inaugural Grand Prix last October as the sport desperately looked to salvage the calendar amid the pandemic. Following the Portuguese Grand Prix, the travelling circuit will move onto Spain on May 9.
