Among them, was Lewis Hamilton's role in highlighting racial injustice since the killing of American citizen George Floyd in 2020, and rookie Nikita Mazepin, who caused controversy when he uploaded a video of him groping a model's chest onto Instagram on December. The former Ferrari team principal had also dismissed the idea of reverse grid races, which had been in talks for a while, and that they were to trial sprint races as part of a format changeMotorsport.com: F1 sprint race decision due before 2021 season start.

The resulting pre-season testing showed some results, with Red Bull as favorites to challenge the title as Max Verstappen set the overall fastest time on the final day of testing. McLaren also looked good for title contention under the revived McLaren-Mercedes partnership, with Daniel Ricciardo setting the fastest time on the first two morning sessions. Mercedes appear to have struggled with Valtteri Bottas having gearbox issues on the first day and Lewis Hamilton spinning and momentarily stopping the session on the second day. However, testing on the final day was overshadowed by the death of legendary commentator Murray Walker at the age of 97, on the evening after the second day of testing. On the grand prix weekend, ran a tribute to Walker by displaying his quote on Damon Hill's title win at the 1996 Japanese Grand Prix on their cars' halos.

== Qualifying==
===Q1===
Verstappen set the fastest time in Q1, but the shock of the session came from the Alpine of Esteban Ocon and the Aston Martin of Sebastian Vettel, both failing to set improved times due to a yellow flag caused by Nikita Mazepin spinning on Turn 1. For the tenth time in his career, George Russell was able to get into Q2 for Williams.
===Q2===
The main shocker was Sergio Perez in his first Red Bull weekend, as his initial lap time was deleted for track limits violations. He improved further but only ended up 11th fastest, with AlphaTauri rookie Yuki Tsunoda in 13th.
===Q3===
The final session saw Verstappen coming out from Hamilton in the battle for pole, the first time since 2013 that a Red Bull had taken pole in the season-opener. Fernando Alonso qualified 9th on his first race back.
