Racing Point - formerly known as Force India - has been transformed into the Aston Martin works team for 2021. Lance Stroll keeps his place at the new-look Silverstone outfit after a strong showing in 2020, in which he scored a podium finish at Monza and pole position at the Turkish Grand Prix. Perez’s old seat has been taken by Sebastian Vettel, who signed for the rebranded Aston Martin team after Ferrari’s decision not to retain the four-time world champion. Perez agreed a one-year deal with Red Bull for 2021, while Albon will contest a partial campaign in the DTM this year. He’ll drive alongside team-mate Valtteri Bottas for a fifth straight season, with the Finn’s current deal also set to expire at the end of this season.Īt Red Bull – set to be the form team heading into the new season after a strong performance in pre-season testing in Bahrain - Alex Albon has been replaced by Sergio Perez, who had looked set to miss out on a seat altogether following his exit from Racing Point. Seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton ended months of speculation by signing a one-year contract extension with Mercedes in February, giving the 36-year-old the chance to win a record eighth title in 2021.
