Seems vaccines fixes everything.

This is NOT really a relevant question 2 modern F1.
I appreciate that, the source NOT directly from BradSpeedMan.

In the turbo hybrid era, there really R NO smaller teams, as with previous era`s inc. V8.
Modern F1 teams R ALL works, and associated "B" teams.  
With the team entry cost so HIGH.  Gone R the days of Brawn GP,  Liegier ...
There R NO smaller teams on the grid to fade away, as U ask how will they last ...

This year it will feel different not starting the season at Melbourne. (Scheduled for Nov). Instead we have:

RACE START TIMES - 2021

GRAND PRIX DATE Local Time UTC
Bahrain March 28 1800 1500

Two months to go. Vettel is yet to drive his car out the garage, whilst others got some track time under the belt already. I don't want to complain about it, but surely it feels that something is wrong with this system.

Very wrong. Starts on the backfoot, once again. Altho it's a good way to hone reflexes and skill, sim does'nt accurately predict track conditions. He needs to get out there to feel the AM car with Merc power

COVID in action.

As if FiA hasn't done enough of damage to the sport already, now add Brexit and COVID, and you have really one big mess. Poor Mick.

Operational assistance. Compare that with Mclaren who has commended MB with their help

Haas went to UK first, and now they are moving into EU. UK quarantine has been imposed. I thought Haas could anticipate that much, and install countermeasures much earlier. 

It will be interesting what teams will do returning home from Bahrain.

At the time Haas went to UK.  The UK WERE a EU member state.
So in turn, Haas went 2 the EU FIRST

Last reason was budget constraints. Wonder if that's really the case

I am not sure why Vettel was placed into slow testing period when systems are usually checked. Having said that, he is driving slow in early hours in contrast to his peers.
