According to the latest rumors surfaced over the web Canon will be doing a development announcement of Canon EOS R1 camera dedicated for news and sports photographers at the end of 2021 if everything goes on schedule. The rumored specification of the camera isn’t know, but early prototypes of the camera limited to 6K Video recording mode. No 8K Video recording mode as we have in the upcoming Canon EOS R5.
So, from the initial set of rumors it’s very clear that the Canon EOS R5 isn’t Canon flagship camera, Canon EOS R1 is under development and it will sure arrive with new ground breaking specs inside.

Of course the R1 won;’t have 8K, no way a sports camera will have the minimum 40MP required. 6K requires a minimum of 25.2MP so a 24MP (effective) sensor would be ok like the A9 and A7III that record 6K and then downsample it to 4K. Maybe the Sony A9III update will actually be worthwhile and provide strong competition.
Agree.
