It's something unexpected. Interesting, what is the reason behind this decision because last year Renault had really solid season.
BTW, probably it's time to start calling them Alpine, because it's their new name for 2021 season.

Max Verstappen says that he is not worried about being the champion in F1 now at all. He is still very young and I think he will win the title in the future. Mercedes is too powerful in this turbo hybrid era but I believe this dominance will end in some years.

Verstappen is experienced and still very young. He will be champion but too bad not the youngest ever anymore.

Next season he wants to destroy his new teammate.

I want to believe that too. But Mercedes doesn't look like it will lose their place any time soon. Maybe banning the DAS system can affect something but I have heard that Mercedes already gained more than 25 HP power on its car.

The moving GPS will happen again.

If I remember correctly this year they also have a "bonus Gp" in the schedule, it is with an empty location (if they had not updated in the latest months) and he can be run whatever they want in one of the last year GPs.

Like Mugello, Portugal, Imora etc.

In the alternative calender Portugal would be at 11th of April and Imola would be at 25th of April. Mugello isn't on the list yet but can always come if the rules changes for some other countries.

Alternative calender I found on the dutch version of Motorsports.com: https://nl.motorsport.com/f1/news/alternatieve-kalender-2021-f1-coronavirus/4936968/

They have it on April 25th, 4th race of the season, where they initially planned to have race in Vietnam. But if more races like Australia and China will be cancelled, they would need for some more alternative circuits. When situation with Covid still isn't good, it would be smart to have plan B if something goes wrong.

Here information about the Chinese GP.

Its now official. https://www.gpblog.com/en/news/76302/china-grand-prix-officially-requests-postponement.html?campname=highlighted-content&camplink=inarticle2&_gl=1*s23394*_ga*cmJSS0liNlVkMVdQQ2FvczNwaHVKdE5DNUthNFRhRFdTRmtncFlJN2VSak14ZHcyX3Y5bkpIcU16SEIxR09oYg..

I think that unfortunately they will not be the only grands prix to be moved or even canceled.
The federation had to think about it before creating the calendar, if there are countries where the covid problem is difficult to solve in a short time, it was better not to include them in the calendar.
Unfortunately, I believe we will have a similar calendar to 2020, with some countries where two races will be held on the same circuit

Yes, I have seen it. Unfortunately, another Grand Prix is gonna be postponed again. I am really tired of this covid-19 period. Because of it, bad things have been happening for a long time. I hope that the new season won't start much later than it is decided too. Because this is the second GP being postponed and there are still more than 2 months for the season to start.

For the first or second quatal looks like beginning oft 2020, i also hope not the same at MotoGp. Maybe the calendar looks little bit better than at Formula1, at Katar i think the MotoGp can start in the new session but Argentinia and USA?

Looks like the GP of Australia will be postponed again. So the first race will be Bahrein. The GP of Australia will be moved to the end of the season (autumn).

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9124961/Australian-Formula-1-Grand-Prix-postponed-cancellation-2020.html

unfortunately it was a predictable thing, they had to think about it when they created the 2021 calendar, given the huge restrictions that Australia has due to the covid.
Let's just hope it's the only change of the year, I was reading on motorsport that the federation is evaluating 2-3 circuits to use as a wild card in case of calendar problems (and one should be Imola)

There are rumors that the Chinese GP will also be cancelled/delayed and the GP of Portugal will in its place.

I have heard about Australia GP are going to be postponed but haven't heard such thing about Chinese GP. I hope we get rid of covid-19 as soon as possible and there will be no need for postponing any GP no more. It seems that the new season is going to start with Bahrain (Sakhir) GP on 28 March.

Mercedes team in their official Instagram page congratulated Hamilton for his 36 birthday.It looks like the relations between them are still as good and Hamilton will be driving for Mercedes for at least until the end of 2022 season I hope.

I think this message doesn't mean anything. As said above, their PR teams are just doing their job. If they wouldn't post such message, then it would be something strange. I think they also post such happy birthday messages for their former drivers like Rosberg.
Personally, I don't believe that Hamilton won't sign new contract, maybe he just want to get more money. And it's not bad thing for news media and F1 - they get some attention when there is not much action.

I don't remember in the last 30 years a case of a world champion (except those who retired after winning) who has not yet signed a contract for the season in January.
I don't know if everything is planned, maybe he has already signed and they don't want to say it, because even Hamilton has no alternatives, so he can't put too much pressure on Mercedes for a 4-year renewal, it's the only place available for 2021

Williams announced that they are going to continue using more Mercedes F1 parts. The deal will include Mercedes gearboxes and related-hydraulic components. These two parts were always built in-house until this deal.

^ It’s just some guy managing Merc’s social media stuff just doing his job. I’m pretty sure Hamilton’s agent and the guys handling the business at Merc aren’t saying nice things about each other atm. Cheesy
