The 2021 FIA Formula One World Championship is a motor racing championship for Formula One cars which would be recognised by the governing body of international motorsport, the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), as the highest class of competition for open-wheel racing cars. It is said to be the 72nd Formula One World Championship and the 75th season of Formula One motor racing. Teams and drivers would be competing for the World Constructors' and World Drivers' championships. This is the 6th season of the ShaneEyoho Universe. The drivers championship was won by Josh Beardmore who won his third drivers championship, Kyle Macleod for Red Bull came in 2nd only 4 points behind Josh, whilst Red Bull's first driver Shane Wray finished in 3rd after a pretty average performance compared to his new teammate. Just like the 2018-2020 seasons the title wasn't officially decided until the final race which was the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. In the World Constructors' Championship, Red Bull won their first constructors title since 2013 by winning the title at the 2021 Singapore Grand Prix. This would be their fifth constructors championship overall. Debuting team Chevrolet finished 2nd after an impressive showing and constant points, whilst Ferrari finished 3rd.
