team/constructor changes in 2021
From Wikipedia (2021 Formula One World Championship):
  • McLaren announced that they would change from using Renault power units to ones built by Mercedes, resuming the McLaren-Mercedes partnership that ran between 1995 and 2014.
  • Racing Point will become known as Aston Martin. The name change was brought about by the team's part owner Lawrence Stroll investing in the Aston Martin marque.
  • Renault will become known as Alpine, taking on the name of Renault's sportscar brand.
