The region’s sports hub Qatar confirmed it will be hosting the race last month after months of speculations.
The race was moved from Australia to Qatar after concerns were raised amid the ongoing pandemic, leading to a number of cancellations.
Among these was the Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka, which was cancelled for the second year in a row. Earlier, the Australian, Singaporean, Canadian and Chinese races were also cancelled for health safety reasons.
