2021 Portugese Grand Prix (CFJ)

The 2021 Portuguese Grand Prix (officially known as the Formula 1 Heineken Grande Prémio de Portugal 2021) was a Formula One motor race that was held on 23 May 2021 at the Algarve International Circuit in Portimão, Portugal. The race was the fifth round of the 2021 Formula One World Championship.
== Background ==
=== Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic ===
The 2021 Formula One World Championship was heavily affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Some of the originally planned Grands Prix were cancelled or postponed, prompting the FIA to draft a new calendar. The Portuguese Grand Prix did not feature on the original 2021 schedule, but was added in March 2021 in order to maximise the number of races in the season.
Up to 25,000 fans attended the race.
