For those who want to have a recap of F1 Schedules and Results of 2021, please read it here. While it was interesting to watch all race events in 2021, the ending was highly heartbreaking for many. There is a speculation going on about Lewis Hamilton’s future in F1 after the title loss to Max Verstappen in the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Let us all hope he continues racing in F1 and makes another great season. Also, it is believed that Max Verstappen would be using the No. 1 instead of his No. 33 as he himself mentioned it earlier.
